Is humor necessary?

The question that has turned the world of psychology upside down is back now stronger than ever. This is a very important issue now that AI exists. The fact is that sense of humor is not reproducible yet. Why is this essential characteristic so difficult to duplicate? Is this exclusive to humans? Is there any kind of conscious human without sense of humor? The answer is that humor necessary and personal as well. It's one of  the most important features that distinguishes humans from animals.

Humor is a point of view It makes us face challenges and problems without collapsing, it's the positive part we all need. When we use it, we are able to produce pleasure in other people. Due to this fact scientists say that it's considered a very effective social weapon which is specific for each individual. This fact makes some of us more social than others. In fact, the sympathic system becomes more active instead of passive when we use humor.

Humor is also very useful for health.It triggers the production of endorphins in the hipotalamus. It allows us to get pleasure with ourselves. This pleasure relaxes muscles and relieves pressure from the brain liquids. For this reason we get a little sick when we laugh to much but it's just a benefit.

Changing of topic, we could say that humor works as a smoke curtain as well. Some psychologists have the conviction that it allows us to hide our deepest fears by just laughing at them. This is quite difficult to understand because it could be considered as a stopper, as an obstacle for our internal progress. But it  works as a window. We look through it.We see issues that we are not ready to face. More Benefits!

The last thing I'll mention is that it works according to the expression "the more the merrier" because the combination of differend types of humor helps group bonds to get  stronger.

As a conclusion, It could be said that humor is not necessary but essential, personal and not vulnerable. we can't reproduce it because it isn't a parameter with fixed patterns. It's different in each of us, and it's what makes us special and unique. No humor, no soul. No soul, no life!
