The amazing thing about humor is that it can take many different forms. Humor can include laughing at a joke or smiling while reading an amusing story.  Humor can have numerous benefits. These include an overall increase in happiness, forgiveness, belongingness, social connectivity, and higher life satisfaction (Satici, 2020). While the exact reason that humor has such a positive impact on people's lives is not proven, researchers have speculated on why humor is so efficient. Humor can have such an impact on our lives. Through my studies and my own personal experiences, I have seen how beneficial humor can be especially when coping with difficult circumstances. As people learn more about humor and the positive and negative effects it can have, I hope that others will be able to implement it into their own lives and see the positive effects for themselves.
