Importance of humor and funny pictures

Humor is a very much important element in people's lives. Jokes and funny pictures can make humans laugh. It is interesting that only humans have ability to laugh, and also make others laugh.

The question is why people laugh? According to some researches people laugh when they see something which is strange, odd or contradictory. Many a times a piece of humor or a joke makes fun of a person. In that case humor can make other people feel good as they feel they are not that weak or bad. Humor has this great ability to make people see a new angel of the situation. Lots of times humorists and satirists use humor to convey their feelings that otherwise they find tough to convey without help of humor. It is a fact that lots of time people say harsh truth in the garb of a joke or satire. If you make a man see his wrong points in humorous way he will not mind. But the same man may mind it if you show him his bad pints without any use of humor.

Humans also need humor to express their inner felt feelings that otherwise may be deeded as politically incorrect. The civil society has this habit of always being proper and children are taught to always obey elders and respect everyone. However, the real life is full of idiots and not-so-nice people. You cannot always be nice with them. Humor comes handy in that case as you express your disapproval of them without seeming rude.

In modern day, there are many practitioners of the art of humor. Comedians in films and dramas are hugely popular due to their reach and touching upon the humor which is part of the life of a common man. There are satire writers who express their disapproval of the modern society in written words. For example, Rudyard Kipling's famous book Animal Farm is a satire on the civil society. Cartoonists are also great practitioners of humor as they show the reality of a situation using humor and drawing. A new medium of the Internet has given common people opportunities to access some great pieces of humor, including funny pictures.
