Norman Cousins, the political journalist and author, was
diagnosed in 1964 with a rare disease. And given only a few months to live. So
he decided to die laughing. Watching videos of his favorite comics. He immersed
himself in humor, in laughter. On a daily basis. Lo and behold, Cousins lived for another 26 years.
Until 1990. He later lectured (I
attended one, in Arizona) and claimed
that laughter saved his life. No joke. I believe it. Cousins said, ‘Death is
not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while
we live.’ --Jim Broede
