RE: "IFC R2S2" - "Laughter" - Life sometimes hurt, and we cope
Laughter is an incredible way to cope and I don't think any of us should ever be blamed for using it as an emotional release in any situation. Both the Challenger and Columbia disasters are incredibly profound memories for me. I remember the sadness and numbness I felt during both of those tragedies. I also remember the jokes and yes, I laughed. Not out of disrespect but as a way of rememberance.
The one I remember the most?
What does NASA stand for? Need Another Seven Astronauts.
God bless those brave men and women who lost their lives in our mission to explore space.
I hope people don't blame people for laughing or joking, it would be like blaming someone for crying at a wrong time. A lot of the distasteful jokes are ones we laugh at, and then we never forget the internal feelings we had, yes I despise some jokes, but you hear and you remember. It is a part of who we are, to find a way to cope and to remember, it is like all other memory triggers, sometimes they are not pleasant.
