  Humor - The Joyful Perspective -...

  Humor is a powerful tool that can shape our perspectives, influence our emotions, and improve our well-being. It is more than just a way to entertain or amuse; humor has the ability to impact the body and mind in profound ways. When we laugh, it triggers the release of endorphins, the brain’s natural feel-good chemicals. These endorphins create a sense of happiness and well-being, helping to reduce stress, lower anxiety, and even enhance our immune system. Laughter, in its simplest form, is an emotional release, and it allows us to cope with the difficulties of life more effectively. 
  The power of humor lies in its ability to shift our perspective. When faced with challenges or setbacks, humor provides a fresh lens through which we can view the situation. It encourages us to laugh at the absurdity of our troubles, allowing us to detach from the weight of negative emotions and gain a sense of control over the situation. This shift in perspective is not only liberating but also empowering, as it opens up new possibilities for problem-solving and resilience. Humor gives us permission to not take life too seriously, helping us maintain a sense of lightness even in the face of adversity. 
  Beyond its psychological benefits, humor also plays a vital role in social bonding. It brings people together, breaking down barriers and fostering connection. Shared laughter creates a sense of belonging, helping us relate to one another in meaningful ways. Humor can bridge gaps between cultures, generations, and backgrounds, making it a universal language that transcends differences. It helps us navigate difficult social situations and enhances our ability to communicate effectively.

  Cambodia - History of Angkor Wat...

  Learn more about the history of those countries. The topics addressed will be these: 
  Angkor Wat-- The temple was built as the state temple for the Khmer Empire at the demand of Suryavarman II in the early 12th century in Yaodharapura (, contemporary Angkor), the Khmer Empire's capital. It was constructed in the early 12th century to honor the Hindu god Vishnu, but by the end of the century, it had been changed to a Buddhist temple. 
  Angkor Wat is a fascinating structure, dating back hundreds of years, and it’s impressive how much of it has remained intact. 
  The Khmer Empire--Historians describe Cambodia as the Khmer State or the Angkorian Empire (Khmer:) from the 9th century to the 15th century, when it was a Hindu/Buddhist empire in Southeast Asia. The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar. The Khmer Empire was greater at its peak than the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire) that existed at the exact same period. 
  The Siamese-- Siam was just a much different name for what's now referred to as Thailand. The Siamese are the people who live there, though they're never ever called as such any longer. 
  Thailand is a fascinating country, with its own culinary arts, culture, history, royalty, infrastructure, and influence on the world. To learn more about these “Thai” people before they were called Thai, when they were Siamese, is to learn about those people’s roots.
