What are your opinions of the idea that "Everything can be joked about or nothing can be." Personally I agree with this completely.

I feel that humor is one of the next steps people take to getting over a tragedy... If you ever read some of these books on survival stories. Really harrowing tales. They all contain parts of humor or a joke the person may of made or thought

You may wonder why... Since some of these people were close to death in some cases... It's cause humor makes us happy. It makes us not take life so seriously. Can you imagine a world void of humor. Suicide rates would probably rise.

Sounds like harsh comparison but I believe that. Now the only small grip I have with the statement is that there is a time and place to joke about anything.

Say something recently lost a loved one. I would not be joking or mocking them right away or anything. That's too soon and can cause more damage than positivity. But say the person has been dead for years. I won't so much mock their death as in rather joke about them as a person.

I've mentioned in another question before how Im friends with rape victim. And she jokes about it a lot. And it isn't in a forced manner. It's known to be a coping mechanism.

So my question to you is. Would you rather live in a world with no jokes or a world were everything regardless of how serious is able to be joked about.

My boyfriend and I are having this talk rn on the phone. I would keep it because its not the babys fault. However i do worry the baby would come out with the same face as my attacker. But i’d try to get over that. My boyfriend honestly shocked me with how diff our opinions are. He said he’d want me to give it up for adoption. Im sorry but i just can't see myself “getting rid of” my baby (adoption/abortion). And why would i go through the pain of childbirth just to give my baby up. So i told him if he doesn't want to father “someone elses child” (which is also half of me) then he could leave. Then he changes it and says “i’d father someone elses child, just not the child who resulted from rape.” Wow. Im sure most of you agree with him but i just can't. Also, i said “healthy” because its a little more understandable if somebody wanted to not have a baby that the Doc told them would be born with some type of disease that could blind the child or cause the child to be infected for life. Because then that child has to live a life in hell :(
