Can we laugh at ourselves sometimes?

Have you noticed how people are waiting to poke fun at others or highlight other people´s problems at the drop of a hat? But when it comes to one´s own life, they are so guarded. To try and portray to the world how perfect everything is easy. When someone tries to speak out, they are labelled, "whiners" or worse still, "weak". Fact is, they are the strong ones. They are dealing with their problems head-on. They are confiding so that they can emerge out of it. The ones who label and the ones who laugh are the ones who need to look deep within. Everyone has problems. Some talk about it and some do not. The ones who do want to change their lives for the better. That in itself is a big step. A bold one. In a few years, they will have the ability to laugh and say, " I am glad I got my life sorted out". The ones who pretend will continue to smile for the world and hurt inside. What I think will help is not to categorize anyone so everyone can emerge out of their shells and enjoy their lives to the fullest.
