Children are more likely than adults to laugh.
This isn’t something I’m just making up, after research adults found that while children can laugh upwards of 400 times a day adults laugh closer to only 15.
In my opinion this is because children are more care free, they don’t yet have the responsibility and stress that comes with adulthood.
But perhaps that is only the simplest part, children are not only innocent but maybe they have less evil.
It’s not as if with age we become darker, it’s the things experienced that make you worse.
Adults and teens become desensitized to things around them, someone is attacked or hurt everyday, with that realization it can become harder to laugh.
But something’s that children laugh at aren’t really funny, really they are cruel, and watching someone in pain may be found more hilarious then a joke to some children.
So I cant draw a real conclusion to this subject. I think it goes both ways, adults don’t laugh at pain as much, because they have seen too much.
And children still find pain funny, which doesn’t make them more evil just much less experienced.
Laugher is not a definite way to judge happiness, but just a way to see how much experience and hardship one has gone through to get where they are.
