Raise your hand if you experience of Endorphins while laughing. We used to say “Blessing comes with laughing” in the past. We say now “Laughing makes endorphin come out”. This theory has been sensational for 20 years in Korea and many nations. Let me ask a question. Please raise your hand that has the experience of endorphin while laughing. When we get older or our health become worse, various diseases will follow with pains. Some pain can be released with aspirins. There are times that the pain is not tolerable and no medicine available. So the only choice is to use morphine that is a narcotic. This is the drug after a surgery or cancer when the pain is not tolerable. Long term use is prohibited as great side effects. But scientists found that the body makes morphine. Endorphin means morphine in the body and is 200 times stronger than morphine. We don’t know how this is made in the body and how to make it. This theory is endorphin just comes out while laughing. Is this true? There is an herb called Sudden Smile Powder. This name comes from the episode that after taking this herb for menstruation pain or postpartum pain, the pain disappears suddenly making the patient smile. If endorphin is related with laughter, endorphin may come out when the patient is on great pain. This releases the pain and makes a patient smile. This is my opinion. Didorphin is 4000 times stronger than endorphin. This hormone is produced when we are touched the heart by our emotion, new knowledge or experience. While endorphin may be produced by laughing, I rather want to produce Didorphin by touching my heart or understanding new knowledge. When I mention this story to my friend, he says “Why do you try to accuse it as everyone believes laughing is good?” Everyone emphasizes laughing too much these days. They believe our brain recognize even forced laughing as good laughing. This lays out endorphin. This recommends us to deceive ourselves in order to be healthy, rather than to be honest to ourselves. Do we recommend the hypnosis? Do you think staffs who work in the large departments and bow to every leaving customers with intentional smiles must be healthy? However if we imagine that “I am rich” in the deep of the heart, they say our brain recognizes as I am rich. But the brain recognizes slowly that there is no money over time. The truth is this problem will be solved when money is in my pocket, and can’t be deceived forever. Let me give you one example. Many care about obesity. One of the causes may be for sugar. So some launches diet sodas that have sweet taste with no calories in order to reduce the consumption of sugar. Many expect to be able to escape from obesity with diet soda. The interesting thing happens. The statistics show that the group of diet soda could not escape from obesity more than regular soda group. Why would this happen? This is my opinion. As soon as we drink diet soda, the tongue recognizes the sweetness and notifies to the brain or pituitary. The brain notifies the stomach to prepare necessary digestive enzyme. When the diet soda arrives in the stomach, the stomach finds only sweet, but no calories to take care of. If this happens repeatedly, the stomach does not need to be fooled anymore and does not prepare the necessary enzyme. When real sugar with calories arrives in the stomach, the stomach will be in the emergency situation. Sudden preparation destroys all digestive orders. Do you think this is desirable? When one amount of digestive may be required on the normal condition, it may be more than 4-5 in such extreme condition. We can observe this kind of situation easily around us. Upon declaring of emergency situation, many who listen the same radio come in the hurry; policemen, detectives, fire station, and ambulance that are in the near area. If this happens repeatedly, bad effects will disrupt the nervous system of human body. Even though the original intention is good, the diet soda results in increased weight. Some may experience some positive effects like an example above, I believe the result of long term is not helpful by the brain delusion. The best way to maintain healthy is to make a balance between organs. This means the balance between liver, heart, spleen, lung and kidney. I believe emotions must have similar balances. According to oriental theory these emotions are closely related with body organs. If we emphasize laughing more than other emotions, this means overacting for the heart. Therefore I do not understand why we have to emphasize on just smiling. Isn’t that better off to become angry against unrighteousness, cry on sadness, and worry after the death if there is another world, fear on the judgment in this world or next one as I have done to make other people shed tears and blood? I believe this is more natural and humanistic. I want to tell you that when functions of organs become strong, the impact of emotional change will be less. Our body may have the power to overcome sudden emotional changes. It is the same theory while our immune system is strong; we are less vulnerable on the sickness. How many people do suffer from depression? This is caused by depressed emotions. What about Korean Hwabyung? This is also caused by depressed emotion unconditionally. Just laughing doesn’t solve this problem. What does the stress come from? Some says it is from the boss, related job, her husband and etc. But most don’t realize the stress results ultimately in our emotions. There are seven emotions; joy, anger, anxiety, thinking too much, sadness, frightened and fear. If one emotion changes into intense or pressed, the body is tend to be easily ill. Oriental medical treasure shows many examples treating the disease by using emotions; sometimes by provoking the anger. When I was young, I try not to cry as I am a man. I now draw tears on sad scene or touching story or even soap drama. I believe this is more natural and a shortcut for healthy living.
