Do you think we laugh too much?

Out of fear, if we see something funny but no else laughs at it, we may hesitate to laugh or not laugh at all. Laughter isn't always instant & uncontrollable.

@Winterwanderer: I guess I'd rather look like an idiot. If something makes me giggle, I giggle.

Here's an example. I was on a bus one day. I saw something that made me laugh. Either no one else saw it, or I was the only one who thought it was funny. I laughed out loud. Got some odd looks and that just made me laugh even more.

The thing I was laughing at, was when I got on the bus it was a sunny day. No rain, not even a cloud. At some point, the sky turned dark and it began to pour. I mean buckets. One second in that and you're drenched. A man got off the bus. He got drenched instantly. Standing in the pouring rain, he looked up at the sky, and held a hand out, as we do, if we aren't sure if we really just felt a few sprinkles of rain. It struck me funny. He seemed so confused, like

"where did this water come from?"

Hahah, I laughed too! & honestly I think you have the right mindset, if you want to laugh just laugh, with little concern for appearances.

For some people, those odd looks are something to be fearful of.

@Winterwanderer: yes. There was a time when I feared looking foolish. I'm about to post that story. I was going to post it here, but it's too long for a response. If you care to read it, it will be up in a few minutes.
