'We cry when something is sad. Then we often shed a tear when something’s beautiful as well. When something’s funny or ugly, we laugh. Perhaps we are sad when something is beautiful because we know that it wouldn’t last forever. Then we start laughing when something is ugly because we understand that it’s only a joke.
Clowns are funny to look at because they’re so dreadfully ugly. When they take off their clown masks in front of the mirror, they become very handsome. That’s why clowns are so sad and unhappy every time they go into their circus caravans and slam the door behind them.' - Through A Glass, Darkly ; Josten Gaarder

Wait till you have no other choices, you'll know how it feels.
