A basic idea to explore: being happy when it appears truly ridiculous to do so. For example people living in a concentration camp being worked to death, still greeting one another with a smile and trying to make jokes, etc. Out of consideration for each other...?
There is a endlessly large cavern filled with ropes hanging from a ceiling. One can look up and see that there is an end. The ropes don't lead to safety, they lead to a dead end. They just hang from the ceiling. Below is lava which is rising. One must endlessly climb just to gain a futile temporary reprieve. Endless people are frantically climbing the ropes to escape the lava despite the realization that the lava's going to get them anyway eventually. Somehow they are climbing for years yet can see the dead end ceiling.
And so... two guys are climbing and the one guy looks over at the other and smiles and says, "Hi, how are you doing today?" The other guy smiles and replies, "Oh, fine! How bout yourself?" They both start laughing insanely and let go of the ropes and fall...
