The Science of Laughing Your Way to a Better Relationship | Gaur Gopal Das

Often, people ask me, "Why do you crack jokes in your talks? Don't you think being serious in a sermon is good?" Here's what I say: Life is anyways going to give us a lot to cry about. Wouldn't it be good if someone gave us an opportunity to laugh and smile and make things a bit easier? It's a service to people to lighten the burden of what they are going through. I crack jokes to open minds and try to touch hearts with my life lessons. What I do is slightly different from the standup space, though. Since many times I sit on a seat and speak and also share wisdom with my jokes, I think we can call what I do SIT-DOWN COMEDY 🙈😂 In any case, humour is usually at someone's cost, our own or that of others. It's important to make sure that it is not condescending and demeaning and that it is shared and received in a sportive spirit where it binds hearts, not breaks them. #relationshipbonding #livelovelaugh #humor _________________________________ About Gaur Gopal Das Gaur Gopal Das is an Electrical Engineer, having studied at the College Of Engineering, Pune.
