== == * Laughter is a learned behavior, you are not born to laugh, it is not innate. As babies, we smile and laugh/giggle because it caused a reaction in our parents faces, we get a positive reaction to laughing so we continue to do it. Other emotions are a range of innate and learned emotions (that is how we feel): INNATE: anger, happiness, we all have the ability to love and hate, etc. However, learned behavior (that is how we react to any stimulus or do any action) because of emotions we already have cause us to respond to a stimuli: laughter, frowning, hugging, kicking, kissing, raising hand in class to offer an answer to a question, whistling. Those are learned behaviors yet there are innate behaviors such as sleeping, eating, blinking etc.

== == * I believe we are born to enjoy laughter. Sometimes we just don't appreciate some things we should laugh at or perhaps have had too many traumas or tragedies in our lives and forgot how to laugh or, it could be the environment we grew up in (a family who does not laugh.) Scientists wouldn't tell us that trying to have 10 good belly laughs a day will keep sickness away if it was just a learned behavior. Like crying, if it was just a learned behavior then we'd never clean out our eye ducts! We are born with emotions and thankfully for most of us they are harmless emotions, but there is the odd one that slips through the cracks that is just plain mean to the bone. * I think that laughter is an instinct just like cats instincts to chase mice. Keep laughing you'll fell a lot better afterwards.
