How about a laugh, (hopefully)

Posted by Leonard @jakedduck1, Dec 31, 2018

I believe laughter is the best medicine. Laughter has actually been scientifically proven to help people with depression issues.
Let’s give it a try so we can all get happy and feel better. Many Epilepsy forums I’ve been on had joke sections. I was probably the biggest joke of all since I didn’t get a lot of the jokes. They said the jokes couldn’t be above 4th grade level for me to understand them so my jokes may be rather simplistic but let’s give it a try.
Have a lovely day everyone,
Jake

Thank you for your kind words!

I try to remain positive. Also, I constantly remind myself how lucky I am.

Despite being permanently disabled, I have much to be grateful for. An endlessly loving and patient wife; a modest but safe and peaceful home; a few friends; health that could be a lot worse; and a mind that is still pretty much intact.

I figure there's about a billion people on earth who'd trade places with me in a minute -- not to mention all those who never got the chance to live as long or as well as I have.

My sense of humor has sustained me, even from those first days in the hospital. Some examples are in my YouTube channel episode 6:


Of course, I have bad days when I'm a snarly old badger, but I try not to let that get the better of me or use it as an excuse to bring others down.

I believe that even when we're in a rut, we can still be nice to others. That takes very little effort and can really have a positive impact. Just as your comment has done for me!

Speaking of ruts:
There were two dogs going
down a dirt road, there was a deep rut in the road, one of the dogs got caught in the rut. The other dog said “ come on let’s go”, the dog in the rut said “I can’t I’m stuck”. The first dog said “if you don’t come now I will leave you”! The second dog said “I can’t I’m stuck.” The first dog left him in the rut.
When the first dog returned the second dog was waiting on the side of the road. The first dog said “what happened I thought you were stuck. The second dog said “A TRUCK WAS COMING!”

@kamama, I love you and appreciate you so much for all the love you give us all the time.
This is so simple it will make you cry.
The answer: when enough pressure is applied “the impossible becomes possible”. If the dog continues to lay in the rut the truck would crush him and kill him. The dog chose life over death. There is an argument that “torture does not work”. If you look back in history it has been working for a long time. But I agree “nothing is perfect…except the love of God”!
Have a blessed day.💕

My dearly departed hubby used to say, "What you don't know can't be tortured out of you." The truth is, if enough pressure is applied, a person might just say anything s/he thinks the tormenter wants to hear just to get the torturer to stop. Sad.
