You don't have to laugh to get along with everyone. You shouldn't have to be just like everyone else to have fun. Being able to relate to and understand others is important, but people having their own feelings and wishes... that's what's wonderful about people. That we can all respond to each other in unique ways because we are different people and because we all have our lives and ways of thinking.
[Nod nod! Looking at her like she just said something very wise.]
Master Reigen says that, too. He says "you are the protagonist of your own life." [Whatever that means - but it means something similar to what Jeanne is saying, that you don't have to decide to do things just because others say you're supposed to.]
I agree. You are, and you should be. The choices you make should be what you want. If what you want is do something for other people, that's just as good as doing something for yourself.
