It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
On some levels, you can also have this feeling that we are being duped, somehow. And that the world is at play for something you would understand more if it were pure ideology. It is a very strange time and also basic things are being taken away.
I'm a firm believer that it's not the way you look or what you have, but what you've got inside.
