The dark side behind a smile

"Thousands of secrets hide behind a smile
it is easier to smile than to explain your sadness
everyone judges you without knowing what you really have
they all talk about you without knowing your sad reality "

Many times we laugh and make other people laugh, we have fun and we make others' day, but when we get home we feel sad and empty, we get to feel a person with no purpose in life, being alone gives us a constant sadness and we became someone completely different from the person who minutes ago was joking and smiling, sometimes we are attacked by frustration with life, a decay or even impotence. That can be dangerous and can decrease our academic and work performance.

A clear example left by actor Robin Williams, a very famous actor who showed us what it is to be a cheerful, happy and enthusiastic person, and at the same time a sad, cold and empty person.

This great actor made many people laugh on several occasions with his wonderful films, he also made many people happy with his juicy donations for the people who needed him most and was even an Oscar winner, five Golden Globes, a Union Award of Actors, two Emmy Awards and three Grammy Awards throughout his career, but all those awards were not enough to give a true smile to that person so empty, because unfortunately Robin Williams suffered from dementia with lewy bodies, for which They don't know, it's a completely incurable degenerative syndrome that leads to depression.

Due to this syndrome, Robin Williams spent his last moments suffering and with a very strong depression that led him to commit suicide, because unfortunately the actor was found suspended in the air with a belt attached to the neck at one end and with the other hooked to the top of your closet.

His family and friends alleged that Robin Williams said he was afraid of not being able to make people smile again, they also claimed that the actor frequently had battles with what he called his "ghosts" that according to his wife were voices he heard within his head, and the same actor said to the media sometime hinting at the depression he had for years saying "The demons are still there. The little voice telling me that I am a garbage, that I am nobody, is still there, believe me."

Many times we believe that because a person is smiling is a person who has everything, because they do not get carried away by appearances, sometimes the happiest people are the people who being alone are the saddest.
