I always thought lauhgter was a joyful sound. But today I heard laughter that was hollow and empty. It is was more disconcerting than any cry or moan. 

It was so hopeless and dismissive.

Then I've heard the laughter of people, who have gone through struggles and come through the other side. Its pure and brilliant like sunshine. It buoys up your soul like a balloon and I wish I could sit and listen to that sort of laughter forever.
