The Laugh and The Roar

The two great gifts of evolution... the laugh and the roar.

The laugh -- Our great advantage in life is that we live it one moment at a time. In a single moment of laughter we forget our troubles and touch a divine perspective, a realm of pure peace, joy, and perfection. Laughter is ascension. It conquers any moment and allows us to overcome no matter what the odds. Laughter is the cure to anxiety, caused by the constant need for awareness to survive. This evolutionary cure inadvertently spawned perhaps the greatest aspect of our nature.

The beauty I see in "divine humor" is not just the affirmation of all moments, but an addition to every moment. A twist of cosmic irony in each moment not just being created good, but divinely perfect, so intertwined in the mysterious, glorious, infinite universe, it instills pure joy, laughter at the amazing complexity, laughter at the beauty in its complete necessity and ridiculousness. For a moment we touch and understand this perspective, and we may learn much from it.

The roar -- In our greatest moments of fear, pain, sadness, and lack of motivation indulge in another momentary overcoming, the roar, which connects us to our inner strength; our courage, passion, and unyielding spirit.

When we exert the full force of our body we get a sense of that limitless philosophy. Witness your self at full potential. Overcome anything in a single moment and hold on to the strength and philosophy of that feeling.

Out of fear and pain we learned to roar and laugh, which taught us to be courageous and joyous. We are a great race of overcoming and adaptation. Our greatest strength is in the feedback between our highest and lowest drives.
