“You can’t laugh and be afraid at the same time.”
— Stephen Colbert
Simplified Meaning:
When you're happy and laughing, it's really hard to feel scared. Imagine watching a funny movie; you're giggling and having a good time, and for a moment, you forget all your worries. Fear and joy just don't mix well. Think about being with friends and sharing jokes. That laughter makes you feel safe and connected, pushing away any fear or anxiety you might have been feeling. By focusing on positive things and finding reasons to smile, you can help make fear disappear. In everyday life, if you’re feeling nervous or afraid, try to think of something funny or spend time with people who make you happy. This can help you feel less scared and more at ease.
