Caveat - Take the small print suggestion at the end with a grain of salt. Pressing the button is amusing (I've pressed it several times). I can't walk a mile in your shoes, and I know that everything is not all right. I wish they had just added "Feel better?" or something like that.
LizT, I think there is a fundamental sadness to it along with the twisted humor. Pushing the button is like buying the big lottery ticket and thinking -- it can happen. Bottom line was that I smiled after I pushed the button -- then I started thinking -- then a little sadness did come.
Well, I laughed and understood the irony and frustration, as it was NOT ALL BETTER! No pink hearts floating, no angel wings fluttering, no hugging arms, no nothing...cept a message that you are basically f'd!
brooksea, I was thinking of contacting the folks that put of the site and asking if they could have an alternative message for people that are basically f'd. Any suggestions -- I'll pass them on. I think Barry's sense of humor might come in handy here. Barry?
I just thought it was sad because I thought "Wow. Things are really frickin crappy and if only it were this easy..." and then it was a feeling of "im so desperate, i hope this button actually works!"
...wow...Very funny and thought prevoking...Objective Reality?... Reality must stand on its own but through one's preception... Reality is a constant...preception on the other hand of "OK" may be different for each individual but for Lou Gehrig he said " I'm the luckiest man on the face of the earth"...? (with ALS?)....and then said this, "And I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."
Sounds like he found the right settings on his perspective of objective reality!...
