Laughter to tears

Laughter and crying are very similar from physiological and psychological points of view. Think of a case when you were told such a funny joke that you laughed and lost the ability to control yourself. What did you feel then? Surely you felt a slight tingling in the whole body, didn't you? Your brain has developed endorphins, they have entered the systems of your body, and you have felt a general rise, similar to the enthusiasm experienced by the addict after taking the next dose. People who do not know how to laugh at life's difficulties often turn to drugs and alcohol in an attempt to evoke in themselves the same feelings that arise when endorphins are released during laughter. Alcohol removes the prohibitions and allows a person to laugh, and therefore stimulates the production of endorphins. That is why many balanced people after a few glasses start laughing uncontrollably. People unhappy fall into even more severe depression, and sometimes even become prone to violence.

Many drink alcohol and take drugs in order to feel like happy people feel in normal life.

According to Paul Ekman, we are so drawn to smiling and cheerful faces because they can actually affect our nervous system. Seeing a smiling face, we begin to smile, which leads to the release of endorphins. If you are surrounded by sad, unhappy people, then you will most likely start to unconsciously copy the expression of their faces, which can lead to depression.

Work in a dull, depressing environment is harmful to human health.
