笑的力量


{我的心哪,你为何忧闷,为何在我里面烦躁。应当仰望神。因他笑脸帮助我,我还要称赞他。} (诗42:5)

美國加州大學柏克萊分校心理學教授丹卓•凱納專門研究表情,包括笑的種類與作用。他說:「笑對人的進化很重要,是人類行為的一大利器。」

凱納和同事李安•哈克做過一項著名的研究,他指出,雖然有些人天性樂觀,有助他們出人頭地;但其實經過指導,學習真心微笑的方法,人生也可以變得更快樂。凱納說:「根據研究,快樂的關鍵在於人際關係。笑有助人與人相處,所以非常重要。」{他还要以喜笑充满你的口,以欢呼充满你的嘴。} (伯 8:21)

展露笑顏,不只幫我們結識朋友,腦部還會因應變換化學物質,叫人心情更好。笑對快樂與否以及人際關係都舉足輕重;因此,不能笑的人生活上往往遇到不少障礙。{心中喜乐,面带笑容。心里忧愁,灵被损伤。} (箴15:13)

「笑吧,全世界將與你一同歡笑」、「笑逐顏開能夠撥雲見日」。這就是笑的力量。可见笑是具有那么大的神奇魔力,令人生更美妙。{我们满口喜笑,满舌欢呼的时候,外邦中就有人说,耶和华为他们行了大事。} (诗 126:2)

Oh ya, absolutely agree. I can "xiao" a lot sometimes (not the Hokkian xiao). I noticed that can really lighten my pressure of life, and makes me forget to say out the word "Pressure".

You know, one of the way to kill pressure, I think, is not to mention the word "Pressure" often. I noticed laughters also make that possible.

Smile :) Xiao is one part challenging of our life. Especially facing difficult or "spicy hand" thing. I'm still learning how to Smile against my Life.

Thanks for your article :) :)
