Be Silly
50 Ways to Be Silly
Here are 50 ways to be silly because some silliness is essential for a happy life. People use silliness to laugh and laughter is a good antidote to stress. Silliness is different from humor because silliness has not point, no insult or insight. Silliness is innocent and light hearted and involves no injury. We laugh at cartoon characters falling and comedians doing Pratt falls because we know no one is injured.
Silliness often involves the unexpected or unusual like the unexpected sensation of a tickle. Often there is a risk, or hint of danger like the drop in a roller coaster. Absurd things are silly like singing vegetables that tell stories. You can turn any ordinary activity or situation silly. Here are some specific suggestions for you to try:- Wear a funny hat
