It is alright. Maybe it is a personality thing, maybe it differs with religious belief and maybe it is perceived differently when working with these matters on a daily basis, like Noah and me for instance.

I did not take offence at all. It is a fact of life. For one individual to receive an organ, another have to die. The timing for the prayers and the event happening made looking at it from the opposite direction rather funny. The donor would have died anyway, praying or not, so no harm done.

I think working for years with disease and death one needs to accomodate a certain lightness of mind, including seeing the funny albeit sometimes tragic or even grotesque in a situation. It is a way of acustoming to very hard, repeated, events where you have to stay focused and sharp. It is OK to cry, but you canīt lose it and if you can not find a joke in it now and then - well, let me asure you friends - you will crack open like a mellon. I imagine it is something similar in war - although a thousand times worse.

Spell Check out, sorry.
