The inaugural World Laughing Day event was held on January 11, 1998, in Mumbai, India. On this happy day, almost 12,000 members of the international laughing clubs attended the event. Following it was "Happy-demic," the first international day of laughing observed outside of India. Over 10,000 people attended the event, which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, on January 9, 2000, earning it a spot in the "Guinness Book of World Records."
The origins of laughing are quite fascinating. Laughter's evolutionary history dates back 10 million years. Although laughing is associated with great pain tolerance and even social position, its main effect seems to be to forge strong social relationships. The quality of interactions became essential to the survival of our ancestors as they began to live in complex social systems.
There is a book that claims to be the one where King Philip of Macedonia, the grandfather of Alexander the Great, asked an Athens social club to compile and give him all of its members' best jokes. The book was mentioned by the Greek author Athenaios of Naukratis in the year 2 A.D., but it did not last until the present.
We are all aware that laughing is the finest free workout. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of how important this straightforward activity may be in improving our general well-being. Although it may not be a permanent fix for all of your issues, laughter can make finding a solution easier.
In light of this, the first Sunday in May is designated each year as International Laughing Day. The purpose of this holiday is to raise awareness of the value and advantages of laughing. More than 70 nations take part in the celebration of the Day worldwide. We chat about the event's background and importance as it gets closer.
