it surely does hide a lot of pain unless someone really knows you well.

Your philosophy should be published for its truth Freud had nothing on you my friend. Epic thought here...

Actually, Freud had 'all the goods on me,' I think.

Hi Dude! I loved making people laugh when I was on stage. But in poetry, I cannot. Maybe one day, I can. Panagiota

Yes, of course ! When we laugh, we either forget the pain or conceal it.

Hello Gershon, yes sometimes we laugh to hide the pain. Happy New Year. Enjoy your day my friend.

It can, true Gershon. But. I guess not for me today. I woke up crying at 6 am. Grief has caught up with me. Too many deaths and 5 personal ones in past months :(

Why not, Shirley? I'm always clowning around... Keep Smiling, Gershon
