Robin Williams as Patch Adams
And the real Patch Adams.
"A cheerful look brings joy to the heart,and good news gives health to the bones."
I'm a great believer in the power of being positive. It changes your perspective on life. It contributes to your happiness and the happiness of those around you. It reduces stress. It's been proven to make you healthier and prolong your life. All three of my children are great laughers. I love to see and hear them laugh. John, especially abandons himself in laughter and is a joy to hear laugh. I think their laughter will be a great blessing to them in life.
This proverb reminds me of two movies - one with Robin Williams called Patch Adams, about a doctor who used humor in his treatment of patients, and then another called Anatomy of an Illness about Norman Cousins, a writer and editor who was given a 1 in 500 chance of surviving a degenerative disease and who used humor as part of his successful treatment.
God made us to laugh and feel good. Not because the circumstances around us are positive and inspire laugh but because he loves us and so we always have a reason to laugh.
The humorist has a high calling because humor has a holy purpose. Lord knows.
