...but they never say how much more painful it can be to smile. I'm pretty sure all of us have been forced to smile while enduring extreme physical/emotional pain; people can see it your eyes, but you lie, and say that you're completely fine. Smile when you've never had a relationship or a spouse, and you watch couples with their young children walk by, teaching them everything that they see, cheering them on. They rub it in unaware and unintentionally, but you cannot blame them. Maybe some of you have been forced to smile for a camera/judge/person after a family member/pet has died. It's not a pleasant feeling. I heard somebody quote the phrase I mentioned at the fair today, and I wanted to hit them in the face with all of my might, because they truly will never know what true pain feels like; they can smile all they want because they want to, though I smile and nicely answer questions about animals for the public. I wish that nobody had to endure this type of pain; it wouldn't piss me off so much, but overly optimistic people make me very angry sometimes. /rant
