| A Moment of Magic!
by Seamus Dolly
Laughter may or may not be a shock, relieved, but its’
therapeutic effects are recognised in most cultures. It allows
a positive distractive moment or moments.
When things are tough, rough, overbearing or endless, a quick
laugh can help to transcend an obsessive reality.
Where could the harm lie?
Where the outcome is refreshment, where is the
loss? A few moments of production lost to relaxation, perhaps,
couldn’t be considered a waste.
When a busy life is led, how could such a short
reprieve be such a long loss?
It is an area of philosophy for those who like to compartmentalise,
and an area of spiritualism, such is its’ power, to
some who don’t need to put it anywhere.
Children are encouraged to participate in laughter, by adults,
who often forget the reason for it. Why is it encouraged,
if unnecessary? Perhaps it is a social tool and a tool to
project hope. Hope, which is spiritualism, must go some way
in forgetting the immediate, and sometimes the immediate,
needs to be forgotten.
It is probably true that most people obsess,
almost to the point of mental paralysis, with no major benefits.
Obsession and focus can get many things accomplished, and
also leave many things forgotten or overlooked. Multi-directional
focus and the impartiality needed to do it, cannot be done
by everyone, and is therefore too much effort for too little
return.
A moment to refresh and relax is generally put into boxes
such as meditation, and the disciplines that bring it. A grown
man with a “macho” background wouldn’t (his
reasons are many) or couldn’t be seen to participate
in Yoga, for example only, but can easily interact with the
cross-platform of generally accepted, “laughter”.
A relatively difficult physical position is not necessary
for temporary mental migration, and indeed, a particular type
of costume designed to facilitate physical positions can be
left to those who are comfortable with such costumes.
So, while disciplines are of great benefit,
mentally and physically, they don’t embrace all, as
all can’t easily be embraced.
As children are encouraged to forget the enormity of the moment,
who is going to look out for the rest of us? The moments can
still be enormous, and some will say that the best days of
your life is when you are young. There is more to consider,
with age, as more appears to be present, to consider.
Still though, most grief and its’ facets, are personal.
Your pain is unique, in much the same way that your “toothache”
is always more painful than the stories of other peoples’
toothaches.
It probably follows then that your enormous
moment is not much different than the moments of another,
except it is more personal. The point of that is while someone
else can be told to cheer up, so can you, and you can tell
yourself.
“You either have to know this, or use something that
will bring the same results”.
“A sense of humour is a sense of spiritualism, or a
sense to achieve it”.
Humour is more universally social and less universally personal
than negative emotions. Indeed, it a morale booster with known
value in production, and the only thing of value in a predominately
negative situation.
