Hello my friend
No not incredibly heartless. I too would eventually laugh at the situation as I would wish my family to do, not making light or disrespecting that I dies or they suffered but just being able to relax and say “ well that was not his brightest moment but we all have such moments”.
My point is more here now as you said “ in time” but is that other may laugh now. I guess the question is how would you feel if someone came up to you and made a joke about it 1- not knowing it was your baby. Or 2 knowing it was your baby and thinking “ hey he will find the humor in it”?
Like most things there is not a black and white here we need just always think “ what if it was me or would I want this said or done to me?”
As I said I respect your choices and beliefs.
I don’t think you are but it is part and parcel of the situation here. Right now there are many who are suffering.
I understand you are and do not think you are seeking to rub salt in a wide open wound but we often do without really thinking about it. It is clear what they did was foolish as to where etc. As to the praying people do far worse things then that I respect their beliefs, forcing their beliefs or anyone’s on another I do not respect.
I don’t have to , but I do, they are you and they are me, we are all connected and interdependent.
The idea that there is a “us and them” is the cause of such great suffering and death, wars.
I do, everyday I think and am aware of their pain, it does not consume me or paralyze me but I can not ignore nor want to ignore it.
Funny you bring up the Three Stooges, several weeks ago there was a movie on their true life it was very sad and very good. Curly suffered greatly with depression, very bad as did Shemp. Moe was a great brother that cared for them both and suffered greatly at their pain and how they died.
I don’t believe that.
24000 starve to death each day, 75% are 5 and under leaving 2 parents standing by helplessly watching their child die at the same time themselves having no food. Is that funny?
There are many things to find humor in and to laugh about and even as you say suffering if it is not at say a death or dying as in how it effects the loved ones or the great suffering leading up to it.
As I said if it were you suffering greatly in pain you would most times not wish people laughing at you nor your child in tears.
Yes I agree that I would not want people to greatly suffer over my suffering and in time laugh perhaps about things in it.
As I said so little is black and white but if I think my laughing will bring pain to anyone, real pain not a perceived ego based pain I would not place my needs before another.
That is just what I believe.
This may strike you as incredibly heartless, but I believe I could eventually laugh at the situation. Obviously I would be grief stricken by the death of my child. But I do not believe I would harbor any resentment towards people who did not know my child and found humor in the situation.

I am not laughing at their suffering.
I don’t think you are but it is part and parcel of the situation here. Right now there are many who are suffering.
I am laughing at the irony of the situation.
I understand you are and do not think you are seeking to rub salt in a wide open wound but we often do without really thinking about it. It is clear what they did was foolish as to where etc. As to the praying people do far worse things then that I respect their beliefs, forcing their beliefs or anyone’s on another I do not respect.
I know you are extending empathy towards the grieving families, but you simply don't know them.
I don’t have to , but I do, they are you and they are me, we are all connected and interdependent.
The idea that there is a “us and them” is the cause of such great suffering and death, wars.
Should you also extend empathy to the families of all bereaved people worldwide?
I do, everyday I think and am aware of their pain, it does not consume me or paralyze me but I can not ignore nor want to ignore it.
Can you not laugh at the Three Stooges because you have some empathy for someone who lost an eye?
Funny you bring up the Three Stooges, several weeks ago there was a movie on their true life it was very sad and very good. Curly suffered greatly with depression, very bad as did Shemp. Moe was a great brother that cared for them both and suffered greatly at their pain and how they died.
If I could not laugh because someone in the world is suffering, then I could never laugh.
I don’t believe that.
