Laughter

Laughter is one of those things that’s universal but also deeply personal- it happens without warning, but it always has a purpose. For me, laughter often comes from the unexpected, like when something serious suddenly becomes absurd. In The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, I couldn’t help but laugh at how every character takes the ridiculous so seriously, showing us how silly we can be. Wilde doesn’t just tell jokes; he uses humor to show us the truth about human nature. Especially with all those sexual innuendoes thrown in there, the interactions between the characters feel like natural conversations. These stories use humor to challenge us, and that’s what makes them so powerful.

But it’s not just big things that make me laugh. Sometimes it’s the smallest things, like a wacky "would you rather" from my friend, a cat making some weird noises and doing something crazy, or even Thaneshwar saying something random like, "Bruh stop bruh" in fifth hour. I watched a comedy clip recently where the jokes weren’t just funny—they felt like real experiences. Humor works because it’s relatable. It makes us feel like we’re not alone in the chaos of our lives.

Why do I laugh? I'm not even sure, to be honest. It's a natural response to all the crap that goes around me but also because it feels freeing. It’s a way to face life’s unpredictability without being weighed down. Laughter lets me step back, see the absurdity in everything, and embrace it. It’s a reminder not to take life- or myself- seriously all the time.
