"Outsiders are sometimes shocked when we burst into merriment over a seemingly tragic experience out of the past. But why shouldn't
we laugh? We have recovered, and have been given the power to help
others."

Yes, we laugh at some pretty strange stuff, but we do it with a knowing gleam in our eyes!
