Put on your costume and do your job. Heart-broken, Pagliacci the clown had to go on with the show
Ridi del duol che t’avvelena il cor
Laugh at the grief that poisons your heart.
Sometimes we just have to do it. Of course there are worse jobs with worse things to do: imagine a frontline soldier having to face the enemy or a doctor who has to tell a child they are going to die or a policeman to a mother whose baby is dead
But everyday some of us have to gird our loins just to go on with our lives, open the door, go to work and be polite.
So many silent, secret heroes out there.
