If you look at laughter on surface level, yeah, but I feel that if you look at it on a deeper scale, it becomes more significant. Laughter isn't restricted to happiness, but the internal laughter that allows you to manage life without losing yourself. Plus, a large purpose of the Element of Laughter was that the bearer caused people to laugh. It's the Element of being selfless, and uplifting others even when they're down.

Joy includes that. When I say Laughter doesn't cut it, I mean that it's only a part of what it could be. Joy is that and so much more. The Joy in our heart may sometimes be Laughter, but sometimes it shouldn't be. Sometimes what we need isn't Laughter. Joy is for all the time, Joy is for all things. Laughter isn't. But it has so many important things too that are part of Joy. The Elements were never about themselves. They were made for others. Loyalty to others, Honesty with others, Generosity to others, Kindness to others, Joy for others. Spreading the essence of friendship. Joy is that Element of uplifting and edifying.
