      Gallows humor is a valid coping mechanism with life and death situations. It is a very human and humane thing to do, to laugh at the face of oblivion.

          Children, elderly, patients at hospices of any terminal disease, mortuaries and graveyards, prisons, death camps, gulags, war, refugees, the sixth mass extinction, mass starvation, the eventual death and welcome oblivion of all that is born including but not limited to life, the universe, and everything else. We all suffer as conscious beings and it is a roaring maddening laugh.

              I constantly have the reality of oblivion stuck in front of my mind’s eye with nothing to distract me.

      You do realize that sometimes humor can be used to highlight and bring light to serious situations right?
