Why laugh when you want to cry?

Why laugh? Why not just read the news, work, ponder your ultimate misery, read something serious and depressing but real or realistic? Why not plow on through life with a serious face, serious attitude, serious family, serious pets. (OK, that's impossible. What dog is serious? Cats, maybe, not dogs.)
 
Well, because it's important to stay alive. And laughing, smiling, stepping into a light story that you know will be OK will keep you healthy. Your life may not be perfect. Your problems probably don't have happy endings. This may leave you without hope. But, look, if you can laugh, particularly at yourself, you will be able to conquer your world.
