Dr Paul Keedwell, an expert on mood disorders at the Institute of Psychiatry says that mild depression can help us reevaluate our goals, and serves a mental progressive purpose.

I am an empath and say that no, depression is a scourge. If we rely on Newtonian emotional functions we will undoubtedly also suffer gross negative consequences at large in our society. Using this logic, war is a valuable human institution that advances science. We need to eliminate the weak hinge of these reactions and begin to move forward because there is forward to move to, not because we fear moving backwards. The mountaintop is a goal in itself, not just because we don't want to be in the swamp. Fly.

I think laughter is tesla electrical spare change being released throughout the body when a mental reaction produces unaccounted for additional charge. This usually results from sincerity and misunderstanding, often observed, sometimes participated in. This literally tickles the body and we laugh. It's probably electrically like a tree shaking loose a bunch of fruits, and can snowball its own effect with etrained body field conductivities and stimulated neurological pathways similar to those who stay up late. Is being a night-owl prevalent to being funny or having a good sense of humor?
