At first, I thought they were dancing with a doll-and that’s what I hoped when it looks like the *head* falls off 25 seconds into the video. Maybe it was a head bow? (I hope it was the head bow…)

I for one, am sick of being locked into the Western mindset prision of how I am “suppose to” do and experience everything. Screw the uber-educated “experts’ and the revenue streams they depend upon for their oh so comfortable lifestyles. They have us all trapped in this grotesque 21st century nightmare.

6 years and 4 months (today) of grieving the death of my only child, my adult son…..
I’ve concluded that what others think of me is none of my business.
This works best for me.

The problem with pop-psych is that it’s pop-psych. The “five stages” work was originally to help describe and understand what might be seen as “inappropriate” responses, _NOT_ to create a *new* set of appropriate and inappropriate responses. I’m sure Kessler and Kübler-Ross are just as irritated by people’s misuse as you are.

Sorry, I’m just a bit of a fan, as having the “five stages” helped me survive a lot of mourning over the years.

I will warn you now, the video might be quite disturbing to Western viewers, so I’m going to describe it to you and I suggest you click with caution. The article can be viewed here. [...]
