> Pullmarine,
I am interested in hearing your taking on the story. How do you perceive it?
I sort of see the story as one of those techniques professionals use to gauge your mood at the moment. You know, like in a I.Q. test or something.
I read the story again, and since I think I am feeling better (I might be fooling myself)... I gauge my state of mind on how focused and productive I am at studying. Anyway, I read the story again and here is my retake...
The subject looked upon laughter as a mean of relieving stress. Too bad, she looked upon the defense mechanism (laughter, in this case) in extreme, and no one was supportive enough to "knock" her out of it. It is a tragic story.
