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.
