i don't trust people who don't grieve.

it simply this...the normative state of the human being is not happiness. why?

there is NO normative state for a human being. we react to what is going on, process information, create our response, etc... to say that it's a choice to feel happy in that situation is just BS. yeah, they can chose to be happy, they can chose to breathe water, too.

hope you don't go saying that at funerals.
