Everyone has different coping mechanisms and humour can be great to lessen the tension a little. For those of us who are largely unaffected by the disaster we do have to go on with our lives. Of course it's not like everything just goes on completely normally. I certainly can't help but continually think of the suffering and stress still being felt by those who lost everything and loved ones but I still have to get up each day, still have to go to work, still have to keep my little girl happy. Life goes on and we shouldn't feel guilty about that at all.
