On The Other Hand, The Pleasure Caused By Laughter, Even On The Stage, Is Not An Unadulterated Enjoyment; It Is Not A Pleasure That Is Exclusively Esthetic Or Altogether Disinterested. It Always Implies A Secret Or Unconscious Intent, If Not Of Each One Of Us, At All Events Of Society As A Whole. In Laughter We Always Find An Unavowed Intention To Humiliate, And Consequently To Correct Our Neighbour, If Not In His Will, At Least In His Deed.

Each Step Of The Journey Is Made By Following The Heart Instead Of The Crowd, And By Choosing Knowledge Over Veils Of Ignorance.
