A person’s cheerfulness is one of their most revealing traits. Some characters take a long time to read, but once a person laughs sincerely, much becomes visible at once.
Not everyone knows how to be truly cheerful. Good-naturedly. Contagiously. Without poison and without the desire to humiliate.
And this is not about intelligence, but about the whole person, about their inner structure.
If you want to understand who is before you, look not only at how a person is silent, speaks, cries, or reasons about lofty things. Better look at how they laugh.
Because laughter often opens the soul more precisely than any words.
If a person laughs well, kindly, without malice, this almost always says more about them than all their correct speeches...
