HOW Laughing differs from Crying & What Do they have in Common? If we are asked to differentiate laughing against crying, many of us will just say laughing is a sign of happiness while crying is a sign of sorrow, but allow me to share to you a revelation.. We laugh, not just when we are happy, glad, excited, joyful, accomplished, fulfilled , received a gift or a blessing , got promoted , contented, gained something or victorious, but above all, we Laugh because we UNDERSTAND… we sometimes laugh at problems because we understand that the problem we have will not in anyway hinder us.. we also Laugh when we are happy, joyful, accomplished and victorious because we UNDERSTAND the very state of being that we are in, and we UNDERSTAND what will come to us next , brought about by the circumstance that we were in which gave us the gesture, expression and feeling to Laugh; On the other hand, We Cry not just because we are Lonely, sorrowful, hurt, lost, afraid, intimidated, aggravated, didn’t get what we wanted, left by love ones either by going away or by death, but most of all we CRY because we UNDERSTAND and we KNOW that we are HOPELESS insofar as the situation is concern and we cannot do anything more about it or could have done something , so we Cry, and the more we UNDERSTAND about the situation we are in and the next to come the more we cry… A boy or girl who lost his or her parents through accident cries but for a moment… But said boy or girl cries more often and more intense When he or she is older upon UNDERSTANDING what he or she have lost, without being able to prevent it . Either in Laughing or in Crying, we automatically express it when we Understand… This what the two have in common…Understanding/Understand.
