Micro-story: My Laughter and Me (by Tonkabean)
我叫（阿丁），住在筲箕灣區。我這個人有什麼缺點？我自己都不知道。不過，我老婆說我習慣比較。與別人比人工、成就、比物業、比仔女成績，我無一不放進天平稱量。
直到那天，我走進大笑瑜伽班，企圖尋找一點解脫，卻悲哀地發現，我連（大笑）都要分出高下。
每星期三次，我們在社區會堂圍圈練習。導師說：”笑不需要理由，選擇相信就可以。”大家便開始 Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha。
我控制不了自己，我的耳朵自動掃描全場。隔離個阿叔笑聲好沉，像引擎發動。
前面個師奶笑聲尖脆，持久力驚人。
對面那個西裝友笑得很假，但他笑足兩分鐘沒停過。
我開始計數。阿叔笑二十秒，師奶笑三十五秒，西裝友笑四十二秒。我呢？十秒。完全不合格。
回家後我上網搜尋：（如何笑得好聽）、（大笑瑜伽達人分享）。看了半小時教學影片，越看越沮喪。原來笑都有標準姿勢、標準聲線、眼神配合、牙齒的黃金比例。
第二天練習，導師說："今日我們練習（喜歡自己的笑）。閉上眼，只聽自己的笑聲，不要理會別人。"
我閉上眼。全場靜了兩秒，然後笑聲此起彼落。
我嘗試只聽自己。"Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha"——那聲音單薄、短促、帶點沙啞。
比起阿叔的沉穩
比起師妹的清脆
比起西裝友的有力量
噢...我又和別人比較了。
然後我停下來。
我發現自己連（喜歡自己的笑）這個練習都在比較，比較自己（是否夠喜歡自己的笑），我忍不住笑了。
不是練習那種笑，是真正的、忍不住的那種笑。我在鏡中看到自己的笑，在耳邊聽到自己的笑聲，我忽然意識到，原來一直嫌棄那把笑聲的人，是我自己，大概不會有人像我這麼無聊。
所謂（笑的標準）都是人制定出來，其實人都是沒有標準的。大笑瑜伽導師說過 N次 了，（大腦是不會分辨真笑和假笑的，只要是笑，就能達到生理上的效果。而且，笑是不需要理由，笑就是理由。）
導師拍拍手說時間到了。我張開眼，旁邊的阿叔對我笑了笑。我又對他笑了笑，我對師妹笑了笑，我對西裝友笑了笑，然後我什麼都沒有想，至少這一次沒有。

Micro-story: (by Tonkabean)
My name is (Ah Ding). I live in Shau Kei Wan. What is my flaw? I didn’t know. My wife says I always compare. I compare jobs, achievements, houses, and kids’ grades. Everything goes on a scale.
Then, I joined a Laughter Yoga class. I wanted relief. But I sadly found that I even compared (laughing).
Three times a week, we practiced in a circle at the community hall. The teacher said, "You do not need a reason to laugh. Just choose to believe." Then, everyone started "Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha."
I couldn't stop myself. My ears scanned the room.
The uncle next to me had a very deep laugh, like an engine.
The lady in front had a sharp, long laugh.
The man in the suit opposite me laughed very fake, but he laughed for two full minutes without stopping.
I started counting. The uncle laughed for 20 seconds. The lady for 35 seconds. The suit man for 42 seconds. Me? 10 seconds. I failed.
I went home and searched online: (How to laugh well), (Laughter Yoga master shares). I watched half an hour of videos. I felt sad. Laughter has standards: pose, sound, eyes, and tooth ratio.
The next day, the teacher said, "Today we practice (loving your own laugh). Close your eyes. Listen only to your own laugh. Ignore others."
I closed my eyes. The room was quiet for two seconds, then laughter started everywhere.
I tried to listen only to myself. "Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha" — the sound was weak, short, and a little raspy.
Compared to the uncle's deep sound...
Compared to the lady's clear sound...
Compared to the suit man's strong sound...
Oh... I compared again.
Then I stopped.
I found that even during the practice of (loving my own laugh), I was comparing. I was comparing if I (loved my laugh enough). I couldn’t help but laugh.
It was not the practice laugh. It was a real, unstoppable laugh. I saw my laugh in the mirror. I heard my laugh in my ears. I suddenly knew. The one who disliked my laugh was me. No one else is that silly.
(Laughter standards) are made up. People are all different. The Laughter Yoga teacher said many times, (The brain cannot tell a real laugh from a fake laugh. Just laugh to get physical benefits. And, laughter does not need a reason. Laughter is the reason.)
The teacher clapped and said time was up. I opened my eyes. The uncle next to me smiled at me. I smiled at him. I smiled at the lady. I smiled at the suit man. Then I thought of nothing. At least for this one time.
