inspirationIt is healthy to laugh, and highly “infectious”. Laughing puts us in a good mood quickly and naturally. But where does laughter hide? In our hands? Under the bed? Laugher lies deep within us, and from its hiding place it bursts into the room, the world, and everyone.
“So I commended mirth” (Ecclesiastes, 8:15)
We all prefer to be happy, smiling, and laughing. Sometimes we think happiness depends on external factors, and believe that we can only be happy when others entertain us.
According to Jewish tradition, mirth is a property we must build inside of us. We should strive to be happy from within, much like Aya, who finds her laughter deep inside her belly.
