THE GREAT RELATIONSHIP PRINCIPLE

Laugh well to relate well. Silliness is the foundation of play, laughter, connection, creativity, stress-reduction, optimism and the healing and pleasure-inducing naturally occurring mild narcotic in our brains called endorphins. Silliness also requires a certain level of intimacy where we feel safe enough to "let our guard down" and just be ourselves.
