I guess I have an untidy mind. So be it.

I'll leave now. I do understand now is not time for levity, but uncomfortable laughs are laughs nonetheless.

(53,410 posts)Its not the same as laughing at the dead and dying. It even has a name. Black humor. Its a psychological release that intermittently releases the mind and brain of hopelessness in the face of forces beyond our control.
Definition of Black Humor
Black humor is a literary device used in novels and plays to discuss taboo subjects while adding an element of comedy. Cambridge dictionary defines it as a non-serious way of treating or dealing with serious subjects. It is often used to present any serious, gruesome or painful incidents lightly. The writers use it as a tool to explore serious issues, inciting serious thoughts and discomfort in the audience.

"an untidy mind" That's a keeper.
