Broaden - deepen – widen – shorten – darken – roughen – soften

Humour broadens our minds because it allows us to see the funny

side of life. Moreover it can deepen and widen our emotional lives
since it develops in us that capacity to laugh at ourselves. Without it,
our life expectancy would shorten and our prospects would darken.
More importantly, while hardships roughens our lives, humour
softens them.
