The moment we start breathing we're living, but on our way to our ultimate demise. Some are quicker than others, but c'est la vie.<BR/><BR/>The definition for morbid is:<BR/>mor·bid <BR/>Pronunciation:<BR/>\mȯr-bəd\<BR/>Function:<BR/>adjective<BR/>Etymology:<BR/>Latin morbidus diseased, from morbus disease<BR/>Date:<BR/>1656<BR/>1 a: of, relating to, or characteristic of disease b: affected with or induced by disease c: productive of disease <BR/>2: abnormally susceptible to or characterized by gloomy or unwholesome feelings<BR/>3: grisly , gruesome <BR/><BR/>So they are being called 1. diseased or 2. characterized by gloomy or unwholesome feelings or 3. grisly, or gruesome<BR/><BR/>My thoughts are - is it really that bad?
