I think going from laughing to crying to laughing to crying - making those quick turns adds years to your life.
Laughing and crying are very similar. Sometimes people go from laughing to crying, or crying to laughing. I remember being at someone's wedding and she couldn't stop laughing, through the whole ceremony. If she'd been crying, it would have seemed more "normal," though.
Laughing and crying are very similar. They're an extreme response to life. You see it in children who start laughing hysterically.
Going from crying to laughing that fast and hard happens maybe five times in your life and that extreme right turn is the reason why we are alive, and I believe it extends our life by many years.
Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now.
Crying is personal. On the other hand, laughing is more general . Laughing makes our hearts wider.
When I'm writing, I look like a fool because the parts are moving through me and I'm crying and laughing and making faces.
Crying adds something: crying is you, plus tears. But the feeling Colin had was some horrible opposite of crying. It was you, minus something. He kept thinking about one word - forever - and felt the burning ache just beneath his rib cage.
One day you are happy and laughing and the next you are crying.
Laughing and crying, you know it's the same release.
The things you're crying about today, you might be laughing about in ten years ... and then again ... maybe not.
To see people laughing or crying or listening, then being inspired to do their own thing? I can't think of anything better than that.
I've laughed, and I've cried. Laughing has got it over crying.
Crying with the wise is better than laughing with the fool.
I know it's working when I'm writing a book if I'm laughing or crying.
Crying can help, too. People are often afraid to cry because they are told that crying is for babies. Crying does not make you a baby, no matter what anyone says. There are times when people feel so bad that they can't express their feelings in words. At those times, crying helps.
I find I have to be the sad clown: laughing on the outside, crying on the inside.
