As I was bleeding to death I looked up at the paramedic and said "Oh god don't let your ugly ass face be the last thing I see", he had a good laugh and that is how I face adversity. If you can't look death in the eye and laugh thats your own weakness.
Agreed, and in fact I've joked about my own seemingly imminent demise on far more occasions than I'd like. But there's a
huge difference between making light of your
own suffering vs the suffering of other people. The former is a healthy coping mechanism; the latter is just plain insensitive.
And before anyone tries to claim that we're
all suffering as a result of the pandemic, and therefore we can all joke about it: if the worst you've had to face is running out of toilet paper, you're not really suffering, and if you think you are, you don't (yet) know the true meaning of the word.
We all deal with stress differently some laugh about it and some get irritated and look for others to blame but either way there is only one truth that none of us can deny.
No-one gets out of life alive.
