laughter therapy

Description

Laughter therapy is a self-inflicted charade that coerces one into believing that giggles can substitute for genuine healing. Under the guise of wellness, it wields cheer as a whipped cream topping on the cake of despair. Participants may leave smiling, only to find their anxieties waiting at the door. Yet, through each forced chuckle, the absurdity of seeking solace in sound effects becomes the mirror reflecting our collective incompetence at facing reality.
