Our most natural state is joy. It is the foundation for love, compassion, healing, and the desire to alleviate suffering.
Pain is not the same as suffering. Left to itself, the body discharges pain spontaneously, letting go of it the moment that the underlying cause is healed. Suffering is pain that we hold on to. It comes from the mind’s mysterious instinct to believe that pain is good, or that it cannot be escaped, or that the person deserves it.
Laughter is Humanity's mechanism to escape suffering.
