What is Comedy? - Now reflect on Joy

Now what is the definition of a Comedy? And why do we laugh? What makes it funny and what is the purpose of laughter? All these questions I've been really thinking on. Like seriously, what makes us do this thing called laughter. According to dictionary.com, here is the definition of laughter.

Laughter- the experience or manifestation of mirth, amusement, scorn, or joy. 

Here's a video I found that also has an explanation of why we might laugh. -> 

Just the fact that laughter is so awesome and gives us that sense of happiness. I don't know about you but I love comedy movies a lot, and there's always certain movies that I like rewatching because they're that funny. But then again, like they said in the video about listening to a joke the 2nd time isn't as funny, this could also be the same towards comedy movies. Some I don't particularly like to watch more than a couple times. The one thing I want to point out is where in life can we find never ending happiness? 

The thing is though, the word that caught my eye is that last word in the definition. JOY. Where do you find joy in your own life? And what makes you have ultimate happiness? My ultimate definition to this... is Jesus. There is nothing better than finding joy in God. He is always there, always loving, giving hope, peace and just ultimately joy. 

Psalm 97:11-12 - "Light is shed upon the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. Rejoice in the LORD, you who are righteous, and praise his holy name." 

Romans 8:37-39 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Psalm 118:24 - "This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Even just these verses here are a reminder that God is always there for us and he loves us so much, now if that doesn't make you happy, there is definitely nothing better.

So yeah, basically I just wanted to write down my thoughts on joy and laughter and why we can be happy. 

God Bless,
