Laughter is the best medicine. You might have heard this phrase for quite a bit now but have you understood what it really means? Laughter takes itself in many forms. It can be after a joke, funny anectode or even mockery. I find that the latter, mockery, tends to substitute the word 'laughter' in the phrase laughter is the best medicine. It might be hard to accept, i know, but really when you are gossiping or mocking someone, especially with a group of our friends, you inevitably find a grin on your face. Although I am not encouraging this act, I am just pointing out that while you guys are mocking or laughing at the victim, he is not laughing at all. In fact he is feeling the exact opposite of what you guys were feeling.
