Extremely effective way of distracting a person from the troubles and hardships of life is partly the transformation of them into the comic. By such detachment from reality in laughter, a person is freed from the conventions of being, instinctively sensing their temporality and imperfection.

The external expression of this curious transformation tribulations, and tragedies into the comic, detract from them, is the laughter, the animal component of which comes from the reflexes, similar of a reaction to scratching, and the essential component is determined by the consciousness in the form of a relationship to some troubles and misfortunes as to the absurdity of the unexpected incident with yourself or preferably with others.

At this, unlike regrets or chagrins because of the occurring misfortunes often causing tears bringing that a discharge but only in the form of breakdown and the coming melancholy, reaction to the events in the form of laughter is shown only from involuntary desire and ability to allocate the amusing party of an event or its absurdity, transfer an event into unusual, so, interesting that can cause at especially ridiculous and improbable combination of its signs, in particular, thanks to the transferring of the feature from one sphere in absolutely other where it should not be, the expression in a sound form, at least, meganium.
