Search Results: rape victims

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.
