According to students at Penn State University, when people are able to make light of traumatic events in their life, it is a sign of healing. People have to come to terms with the fact that they are able to be happy again. Laughing makes people feel better and it is one of the few universal things in life.
In a time where we could really use some joy, we’re going to laugh at the one thing that has shaken up our lives so much, the coronavirus.
