Hi,
When we are about to leave Gaza strip (for me it is again) we will need to leave our cynical and black humor jokes behind us and sit down and talk about our what had passed on us and our feelings.
For me as a cynical man it is even harder, then for others. It is a very good practice to hold yourself against the crazy shit going on around you: people that dying or getting injured and the clear fact that what we are doing is very dangerous.
But I did find myself leaving the cynicism also in my work place. Not because I feel it is for teenagers and I grow up or because it is longer funny, but because it is very uneffective way of communicating when you want people to do something.
The best example was when I was in the army in the commander: we were explaining and practicing our basic training soldiers in explosives.
One of the soldier held a detonating cord and asked our commander officer what he should with it. The right answer was to tie it to another detonating cord or to the main charge.
But our officer told him to tie it to another soldier fighting vest (back then it was a efud). We were done with the explosive circle and we were leaving the explosives range to explode the 2kg of explosives and realized the explosives are leaving with us, as the soldier did tie the explosives to another soldier efud…

A soldier lying down in an APC full of M-29 landmines, in some point, the Engineering Corps soldiers said, the amount of explosives is so big you will evaporated
The most not cynical or black humor soldier the company has and even he fell into it in some point
