Laughter & Love

Laughter and love are two of the best things in life. In both, a person tends to forget himself and his ego. Anything, if done in the same spirit, will give peace of mind and happiness. Whenever a person laughs wholeheartedly, he is living in the present. There is no point thinking about the past (being happy about good memories, or being sad about bad memories). We have to realize that it is the past and it has already gone. There is also no point speculating over the future, as it is yet not there. The only thing in our hands is the present, and we should live fully in the present.

There is no point worrying over the future, or fretting over the past. Similarly, there is also no point getting excited over the future, or living in the fond memories of the past, as you are forgetting the present in the deal. You are forgetting what you have at the moment, and not living life to the fullest. Life should be like playing a game. You should have fun in playing it, but at the same time, you should play it with honesty, sincerity, understanding, and love.

You should learn to accept that there are bound to be differences in perception, in thinking, in views, and in preferences. But rather than fight such differences, you should just accept them and live with them. Be happy that everyone is different. Life would have been so monotonous if everyone had the same views and everyone acted in the same way, and everyone accorded with everyone’s thinking. It is the differences that make life so interesting.
