It's strange how, when you see someone talking casually about the NewAge phenomena of "alternative" medicine (mentioning how "everyone's got one friend" trying to talk them into it, or "it's not safe") and you hear everyone cracking up - after you've known the obscene levels of tragedy it can bring to a life - the laughter becomes haunting, and it just doesn't seem funny anymore.
It's yet another way that, long after the events have ended, the dead are buried and your loved ones are gone, NewAge continues to destroy your life.
Laugh and the world laughs with you.

Oh, is that so very clear.
ReplyDeleteIt's also a damning indictment of what used to be known as our "humanity".
