Every single person in both those clips is very strange.
Maybe the longhaired woman in the grey jacket and pale blue blouse is a bit less strange than the others, but can I just say she is a perfect negative example of why one should always take care, when spending a fortune at the makeup counter, to match one’s foundation to the colour of one’s neck.
Did you get the Fisher ad on the CNBC video? Charisma city! :/
I was going to write a serious critique of the study, but just couldn’t bring myself to do it after watching the video.
The saddest part is that the study is probably going to be used as more fodder for stupid IMF interventions down the track.
PC, I did laugh a lot yesterday, because of reading your vomitous post. Thank you!
Although it was “Ocky”’s first comment which really did for me.
And what is the Sanskrit word for laughter!?We have Buddhists who insist on humour!And heaps of other disciplines insisting on smiles and laughter as uniquely healthy.I find all this a bit boring,unnatural,and driven not by sense of humour that adapts rather than conforms.There are moments in life as a sign of a working intelligence,to not laugh on cue means your understanding is deeper than a need to express.Some years back,the ABC got into this thought after some research had aired,that societies like ours were laughing less.So over a period of time they seemed to of increased their laughter rate per time period.To me not only did their intelligent presentation slip,but, what they were trying to achieve,an increased socia-bility didnt eventuate.What replaced the two combinations of self-conscious effort is now almost moronic intellectual quality,with the isnt its,and doesnt its,like well known family names creeping in as as a nervous strain of not meeting anything that has quality at all.I dont enjoy the idea at all, that every behaviour of societies is Rig-Veda previously loaded.I find when someone is signalling they are attempting to be funny,that I should coalesce I wont do often.When the boot is on the other foot,I know I am not being myself anyway,because life is not about thinking everyone of our statements to others are the uncoiling darts of Kundalini rising,or philosophical discourse of deep significance..that needs accompanying deep rhythms of the belly to reciprocate.Relationships wont last very long if the central casting of the exercise of the mind requires the reciprocative as a response to something that may hold an implication in expression,but, determined by someone else as a laughter key.The Yogi therefore looks pretty stupid to me,and so is all the emphasis on it.Certainly their maybe good feelings in using the body in new ways to capture and release one’s laugh…but surely a person who can find humour in something doesnt require exactitudes of behaviour and appropriate hand movements doing so!?To know and feel your laughing like a crocodile,will not necessarily have a proscribed yoga position.Add crocodile tears and well something will flood!
I would have thought it’s a fairly obvious point…. financial stress is a major cause of unhappiness and relationships breaking down. If you remove financial stress you’ll be happier.
Of course rich people are happier than poor people…. Duh! What would you rather be
