Cultivating a sense of humor lightens the heart from "summary" of The Art of Happiness by Dalai Lama XIV Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho,Howard C. Cutler

When faced with life's challenges and difficulties, cultivating a sense of humor can serve as a powerful tool to help us navigate through tough times. The ability to find humor in even the most serious or stressful situations can help us maintain a sense of perspective and lightness, even when things seem overwhelming. This is not to say that we should dismiss or trivialize our problems, but rather to approach them with a sense of lightness and playfulness that can help us cope more effectively. Humor has a unique way of diffusing tension and bringing people together. When we can laugh at ourselves and our circumstances, it can help us connect with others on a deeper level and foster a sense of camaraderie. This shared laughter can create a sense of unity and support that can be incredibly healing and uplifting. In this way, humor can serve as a bridge that connects us to others and helps us feel less isolated in our struggles. Moreover, humor has the power to shift our perspective and help us see things in a different light. By finding the humor in a situation, we can often uncover new insights and solutions that may have been obscured by our initial stress or worry. This shift in perspective can help us approach our problems with more creativity and flexibility, allowing us to find new ways of coping and problem-solving.
  1. Cultivating a sense of humor is not about avoiding or denying our difficulties, but rather about approaching them with a lightness and openness that can help us navigate through them more effectively. By embracing humor as a tool for coping and connecting with others, we can lighten the heaviness of our hearts and find strength and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
