At the Practice of Peace conference last week, there was a lot of laughing going on. There was an offering on laughing as practice, and Alexander Kjerulf offered a session that, from my vantage point through a window, looked like a battle between two sides of hysterical fighters, trying to out-joy each other.
And now comes news from Flemming Funch that an Ethiopian man named Gima Belachew has broken his own laughing record.
The story is quite a read, including this great quote:
We are living full of stress… Natural disasters, economical, political, social problems… My aim is to minimise this stress. Please let us communicate by smiling,” he said.
“Our slogan is ‘laughter, love, peace for all human beings’.”
