Laughing at Misfortune

As I mentioned yesterday, I am not feeling well. My head and body have just been throbbing, stomach hurts, etc. Simple flu symptoms (bleck).
But I think I have enough in my to talk about how I feel today.
So I felt I would expand on my thoughts from yesterday. Why is it that we turn things that are horrific into jokes. I love to laugh, and I have even found myself laughing at horrible things, that I honestly don't believe I should have.
One look at what our society considers entertainment is scary. From Nazi, to racist, to dead baby jokes, there is no end to what is considered funny.
Why does this bother me? Maybe these things would be funny if they weren't real issues, but instead we shrug them off. I find that people care very little for the pain of others, as long as they aren't the ones in pain.
Instead of laughing about those who hurt, why not reach out a hand.
A short incoherent thought of a raving sick man. Continue to wish me well please. If laughter is the best medicine please send me some humor that doesn't hurt anyone :)
I wish you all the best, and thank you for reading this shamble of a blog post.
