"I hate hospitals."
"Why's that?"
"They're always trying to hide."
"What do you mean by 'hide'?"
"You smell that?"
"Yea. Smells clean."
"I hate that smell."
"Why?"
"It's too clean. It's like they're trying to hide the fact that people die here."
"Well that's morbid..."
"It's the truth."
"Would you rather it smell like germs and corpses?"
"No. But that's not the point."
"What is your point?"
"It's all just too... pleasant."
"Well yea. Hospitals are meant to help people. They're supposed to be pleasant."
"...You've never had a love one die, have you?"
"...No."
"No one should have to sit and watch the world spin on as if the person they love never existed."
"Why's that?"

This was actually based off of a conversation I had with 
, though I doubt he actually remembers. 
I wrote this the night after I returned home from going with him to visit his Grandmother in the hospital, (She's okay now, don't worry) which was also around the same time my Aunt died of Leukemia. The reason it took me so long to finally upload this (These events actually transpired several months ago) was due to my incredible perfectionism on getting the last line just right, which I still don't believe I fully achieved. :/ And yes, these are my views in a way. Though I do completely understand the reason why a hospital should appear to be a clean and happy place, the last line really hits home for me.
Basic message being: When your entire world comes crashing down, the last thing you want to see are the smiling faces of others, as if nothing changed at all, as if your loved ones life had no meaning.
But of course, this is a matter of (morbid) opinion. Either way, I hope you enjoy.

I agree but I think its much worse at the psychiatrics where they just seem so.... un-naturally happy?
