Finally getting started... Bit of a bitter sweet beginning to the week.
Staff Appreciation Breakfast was this morning. at 9am... Funeral for IT Staff member who died late last week at 11.
It was a good affair which ended in laughter, so, it wasn't all bad. The family is doing better than most since they are Christians.

You say tomato, I say slingshot ammo. I've attended funerals all across the board. Let's just say this family has a good support system and their faith is a large portion of it.

Right, because faith teaches helplessness, which makes it easier to "deal" with those things -- Que sera, sera

Que sera, sera
This I agree with. Can't worry about what you can't control and all that jazz.
I disagree that faith teaches helplessness. Some would say it teaches selflessness. But eh... going down that rabbit hole would devolve into a deeply theological debate that would span on for days. Not at all my intention.

I won't debate it, just link a reference:
Religion teaches helplessness. Que sera, sera—what will be will be. Let go and let God.We’ve all heard these phrases, but sometimes we don’t recognize the deep relationship between religiosity and resignation. In the most conservative sects of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, women are seen as more virtuous if they let God manage their family planning. Droughts, poverty and cancer get attributed to the will of God rather than bad decisions or bad systems; believers wait for God to solve problems they could solve themselves.
This attitude harms society at large as well as individuals. When today’s largest religions came into existence, ordinary people had little power to change social structures either through technological innovation or advocacy. Living well and doing good were largely personal matters. When this mentality persists, religion inspires personal piety without social responsibility. Structural problems can be ignored as long as the believer is kind to friends and family and generous to the tribal community of believers.

I like to say we have a brain, so use it.
[otherwise, I'd still be stone deaf and have people throwing things at me to get my attention](ugh... how do so many people wind up in IT when they and/or their brains don't work!)
