They say 'A man is known by the company he keeps ' . I say that can be dubious as choice of company is often governed by several factors which most of the times are beyond one's control. So what can be the other criterion? I prefer laughter to be the best medicine yet again. Its not only easily comprehended but fun to observe.
But the million dollar question is how to draw someone's psyche out of his laughter. The cause effect thesis is of help here. People laugh due to many reasons, and intrestingly most of them are related to others. By simply noticing the cause of their laughter, a lot can be concluded about their personality traits. Like a person who laughs when some one slips on road while walking or giggles on someone's misfortune, is certainly not the kind of person you would like to share your time with. In the same manner people enjoy teasing the other fellow intentionally. Despite of boasting about the civilized world we have created around us, we wont let a single occasion go in vain when we can deride the vulnerable. 'One man's deficiency is another man's reason to smile' seems to be the rule followed. From the sheer joy of hurting animals to ridiculing the differently abled, we just dont resist the ecstatic feel.
