I endeavour to maintain a clutter free, simple reading environment that takes just a few minutes to read a complete story. This blog is free for all. One way you could 'repay' me if you like the story you have read is to refer others to this blog and the specific story. I would appreciate that kind of word-of-mouth (or its modern equivalent - email, link, Facebook posting) advertising, since it is the best kind. Kindly do to the extent you can without feeling uncomfortable or like a spammer.

Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy reading!

Sometimes laughter and tears are the two sides of the same coin

Sometimes laughter and tears are the two sides of the same coin.

Normally, when we come across events they make us smile or laugh (associated with happiness), or move us to tears (associated with sadness). This is in simple situations.

When it gets a bit more complex, there are tears of joy which are a different thing, but something we can all relate to. 

There is, similarly, laughter of sadness too. When one often cannot do much about something very sad and tragic that we cannot repress a response from within and we can see that tears or lamentation is futile, some quietly move away and vent it somewhere else. Some laugh at it and find a good joke amongst the pieces. It can be a healthy or reasonable way to let our feelings out.

Don't you think so? Does it happen to you?
