Is the opium of the Gods. Available to each and every human being.

Just as barking is to dogs who greet you happily. Moving their tails like

crazy. Same thing to humans. Their smiles are their tails. Isn’t funny?

Their smiles and laughter are the most wonderful thing they have to

offer to you. And you reciprocate in the same way! Smiling and

laughing. We are animals. Mammals. And we smell each other.

Seize each other. – Is the bastard trying to hit on my wife…?

Stuff like that. Laughter fills you with a happy feeling. You want more

and more. It’s probably the most wonderful feeling. Laughing.

At your misfortunes…remember Zorba…? When he tells his boss:

Boss, when misfortune strikes you…dance!

And both dance and laugh to the face of misfortune and adversity.

I love that part of the movie. And even more because Zorba was my

paisano. So, sweet brother. Laugh. Laugh as much as you can.

Tell me your silly jokes. I shall laugh to them as a crazy man. Whom

I am.
