Why do we laugh

[RATTER15]

All our reflexes are for a reason, we smile so we can show happiness but why do have hysterical laughter?

[wonder years]

thats a good question iknow i allways feel better after a real good laugh, and do you find maybe you think about it again hours after and it sets you off again but this time it allways like on the bus or in rhe street then you get strange looks off people!!!

I suppose its the same as crying, you can just shed a few tears, or get very emotional hysterical crying

[smiffy65]

and it works the same you always feel better after a good laugh, or a cry

Ratter ...Hi ..

Totally unrelated to your question, but I've been waiting for you to post so I could show you these.

I know you're a bit handy with metal and thought you'd like a look

I believe that we basically laugh to express our inbound happiness for something. We can never top laughing ore smiling. This expresses not only happiness, but love and care too. Smile is magical, and can travel a thousand miles as well.

It's clearly a signal to others as few people, I think, laugh out loud when they are on their own.
