Are you Afraid of Sadness?"
In an old interview
with a famous and talented Iraqi actress,
the interviewer asked her:
“Why are you afraid of sadness?”
The actress responded:
“I am afraid of it because it quickly takes you to a place from which you can never return.”
And exactly as she was answering,
an insightful viewer could notice
a sadness on her face indicating
that the famous and talented actress herself
wasn’t really present in the interview
for sadness had long taken her with no return…
