People who laugh at funerals are considered inappropriate jerks.
I am just trying to understand what happens when the disconnect between what is happening to you and what you are feeling becomes total.
I am also trying to understand how practical it'd be to be in a state of bliss all the time. I've heard more than one person talk about cultivating the state of bliss with some successful consistency, then getting fired from their jobs because they are space cadets.

Maybe chasing bliss is a mind created indulgent pursuit that it likes to do, instead of actually being and feeling the natural response to life. Meditation is a shutting down of life and it's signals so there is less to respond to.
