Sophy Laughing

Hi! My name is Sophy Laughing.

I changed my last name to 'Laughing' because that's how I want to spend the rest of my life, how I want to leave the world,

As my name suggests, I believe there is great wisdom in humor.

The beauty of comedy is its subjectivity. There's something for everyone. It ranges from the sublime to the ridiculous, from the confidence of youth to the sobering central period of life, to the early luncheons hosted by silver-haired ladies, to one's ability to embrace Cicero's greatest contribution to the world, On A Life Well Spent.

The lethal effects of life have affected me, but nothing as much as humor. Humor is an innovative solution, once you can find a problem to go with it.

There's much to be explored in the field of humor, from the physics of humor, to humor's ability to heal the mind and the body, both. Humor lassos up eastern and western thought, and propels us back to the beginning of time.

Ancient hieroglyphic symbols for laughing and jokes were shared thousands of years ago. There are biblical references to laughing, the Greek city-states inherited a tradition of professional humor from the Hitties, the pompous, bridge-building toga wearing Roman's, The Laughter Lover, dating back to the third or fourth century AD, contains some 260 jokes on stereotypes - the 'Å"egghead', or absent-minded professor, was particularly funny, as was the eunuch, and people with hernias or bad breath.

I can hear Homer's gods from the Iliad, laughing now...

From Chaucer to King Alfred to Shakespearian lines so lovely they make the senses tingle, the worlds' recognition of humor reflects the genius beheld in the levitational farce field.

Henri Bergson, Immanuel Kant, Soren Kierkegaard, and even Freud recognized the power held in making others laugh. Jean-Paul Satre said that making people laugh 'Å"saved (his) life.'

Being able to laugh saved my life!
