“Laughter is the shortest distance between two people”

 -Jorge Luis Borges

This quirky image may make you laugh or simply smile. If it makes the person sitting next to you laugh or smile, there's a connection. Sometimes a silence, a smile or laughter shared can make you feel closer to someone than talking. Humour can defuse tension open up communication, help people to relax. It can also be risky, especially if used carelessly, manipulatively or insensitively. Potentially, however, laughter is, indeed, the best medicine.
