Simplified Meaning:

Laughing can actually make us feel happy. It's not that we laugh when good things happen and we feel joy. Instead, the act of laughing itself can create happiness inside us. Think of it like this: When you force yourself to smile, even on a bad day, you might start to feel a bit better. The physical action of laughing or smiling sends signals to your brain, which then creates feelings of happiness. So, if you're feeling down, try watching a funny movie or spending time with a friend who makes you laugh, and you'll likely start to feel happier because of it.
