About "Laughter"

Values are most imperfect in an age. There is no immortality to value systems. That is why new values are created constantly, and people commend them or hate them.

What about "laughter"? In "laughter", the background of each person becomes very important. What is not funny to everyone else could be extremely funny to oneself, and vice versa.

In a conversation, although there is a smile on the face, one could actually be very irritated or sad. It is impossible for everyone to exactly have the same thought.

"Laughter" may exist in such a gap between values.

That is why through my work, I imagine and "smile" on everyone else. I wonder how they would look when I do so.
