WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

"How come you’re so full of energy?  You’re smiling, laughing, joking.  Are you nuts?  Here we are fleeing our bombed-out, flooded-out, burned-out city.  We’re refugees and don’t know if we will live another day, and you act like were on a hiking adventure. Seriously, what’s wrong with you?"

"You’re right.  Something must be wrong with me.  I shouldn’t enjoy being a refugee.  I too lost EVERYTHING.  I should be a miserable, like you.  I should be stressed, afraid, and concerned that I might not live through the day.  Maybe there’s a psychologist among us.  Tonight, if we’re still alive, I’ll see if there is one.  Maybe he can help me be a nervous wreck like you.  Then I’ll be good company.”
