Do you think we laugh too much?
I think we laugh too much & too little. We laugh at things we don't think are funny, and things we do think are funny we don't laugh at.

How is it healthy?

@Winterwanderer: okay. I find it difficult to express in my own words so I looked it up and found this.
being able to laugh at a trauma at the moment it occurs, or soon after, signals both to ourselves and others that we believe in our ability to endure it.
It's simply a defence. Laughter can: Stimulate many organs. Laughter enhances your intake of oxygen-rich air, stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, and increases the endorphins that are released by your brain. Activate and relieve your stress response. Soothe tension.
In short, laughing is healthy.
