Humor Can Be One Of Our Best

Since The Goal Of My Programs Is To Show Audiences How Humor Can Both Help Them Heal As Well As Deal With Not-so-funny Stuff, I Decided To Discuss The Events Of The Previous Week, The Pain All Of Us Were Feeling, And How Humor And Some Laughter Might Be Beneficial.

The Tragedy Of September 11th Was So Sudden, So Enormous, And So Horrendous, Both In Terms Of Lives Lost And Global Consequences, That This Country And The World Went Into Immediate And Prolonged Shock.

When We Are Dealing With Death We Are Constantly Being Dragged Down By The Event: Humor Diverts Our Attention And Lifts Our Sagging Spirits.

Humor Expands Our Limited Picture Frame And Gets Us To See More Than Just Our Problem.

Laughter Can Help Relieve Tension In Even The Heaviest Of Matters.
