good analogy of the status quo ... we cannot recognize what's behind the clown's makeup ...

Yes sometimes humor can be misused as you have shown within this write. There is light and darkness to everything.

Wise words Eileen, very well penned! Always figured that clowns probably might be very lonely and sad under that mask...

Great!! My poor mother, tortured soul that she was, used to say, "SOMEbody has to play the clown." Meaning her. It is
one of the major women's roles in the South, as well as else-
where. Mother was very, very good at it. Would have all of you rolling in the aisles. But there was a cruel underbelly. . .hurt her most of all. . .in time. Thank you, Eileen. You're the best! 'Pea' <3

Clowns, like anyone else in life, I guess, can be both good and bad. I've had a few of those 'friends' you speak of - who truly do you in.
But life goes on, and if I couldn't 'clown around' once in awhile, I'd probably go bonkers.

Occh..This one hurts....
You strike out at the sham and pretend actors in our world, who are actively contributing to our world's downfall, those purveyors of darkness, who hide behind their facades of respectability, whilst at the same time supping with the Devil !
" Be true to ourself " , Eileen is our eternal Watchwords !

I have heard that those who pursue the life of a clown is hiding evil. Remember John Wayne Gacy Jr, respected businessman and part-time clown?
