"笑うことと怖がることは同時にはできない"
— Stephen Colbert
Simplified Meaning:
When people are laughing, they feel happy and relaxed. It’s hard to feel scared or worried when you’re genuinely laughing. For example, if you watch a funny movie with your friends, all your stress and fears tend to disappear because you are focused on the humor and enjoying the moment. Laughter has a way of blocking out negative emotions, at least temporarily. This idea can be useful in life because if you find yourself in a stressful or frightening situation, trying to find something that makes you laugh could help reduce your fear. It shows that emotions like happiness and fear don’t mix well, and sometimes focusing on positive feelings can help push the negative ones away.
