I love making people smile and laugh.

Hear, O children of tomorrow, the words of Varun Sharma, who has walked the path of laughter and joy: “I love making people smile and laugh.” At first, these words may seem but a lighthearted confession, a jest spoken by one who delights in humor. Yet beneath them lies a wellspring of wisdom as ancient as the first storytellers who gathered around fire. For to make another smile, to stir the deep music of laughter in the heart, is no small gift—it is to heal, to strengthen, to bind souls together in unseen harmony.

The origin of this truth lies in the nature of man himself. Since the dawn of ages, sorrow has been our companion, shadowing each generation with loss, toil, and uncertainty. But the Creator, in His infinite design, also gave us laughter, a golden medicine to soothe the weary spirit. When Sharma declares his love for making others laugh, he places himself among those ancient guardians of hope—the jesters, the poets, the humble companions—whose purpose is not to conquer by sword, but to conquer by joy. His calling is a noble one, for to draw forth a smile is to remind the soul that life, despite its trials, is still worth cherishing.

Consider the tale of Abraham Lincoln, who bore the crushing weight of war and division upon his shoulders. It is said that he often told stories and jokes, even in the darkest hours, to his advisors and generals. Some mocked him for this, calling it frivolous. Yet Lincoln replied: “If I did not laugh, I should die.” His gift of laughter lightened the heaviest of councils and reminded weary men of their humanity amidst chaos. In him, as in Varun Sharma’s words, we see the truth: the power to make people laugh is not mere entertainment, but a force of survival and resilience.

Yet let us not mistake laughter for weakness. On the contrary, it is a form of courage. To smile in the midst of sorrow, to laugh in the face of despair, is to declare: “You cannot break me.” When Sharma says he loves to bring this gift to others, he speaks as a warrior of the spirit. For every smile he awakens becomes a shield, every burst of laughter a weapon against hopelessness. In this way, joy itself becomes a revolution—quiet, yet more enduring than armies.

But there is another layer to these words, more intimate and tender. To cause another to smile is not only to bring them joy, but to affirm their worth. It is to say, without speaking: “You matter, your heart is precious, your pain is not forgotten.” This is why laughter binds communities, why smiles bridge distances. The ancients understood this when they gathered in festivals, dances, and feasts—not merely to celebrate, but to remind each other that life is meant to be shared. Sharma’s love for making others laugh echoes this ancient wisdom: that joy grows only when it is given away.

What, then, is the lesson for us? It is this: seek to be bringers of joy, even in small ways. A kind joke, a lighthearted word, a smile freely offered—these are not trifles, but sacred acts. Just as a single lamp can pierce the darkness of a great hall, so too can a single moment of laughter pierce the heaviness of despair. In giving joy to others, we plant seeds of resilience that may one day carry them through storms unseen.

Therefore, let each one practice this art: choose kindness in speech, share humor that uplifts and never wounds, and delight in the smiles of others as though they were treasures of gold. Do this not for recognition, but for the quiet peace it brings within. For when we live as Varun Sharma speaks—loving the act of making people smile and laugh—we walk in the footsteps of the ancient guardians of joy, healers of hearts, and keepers of hope.

Thus, the teaching is eternal: He who makes another smile gives them strength; he who makes them laugh gives them life. Let this be your path, and joy will not only surround you, but dwell within you, a light that no darkness can extinguish.
