“ You know your inside, and you know the others' outside: that creates jealousy. They know your outside, and they know their inside: that creates jealousy. Nobody else knows your inside.

You know your smile is phony, because your heart is not smiling at all, it may be crying and weeping. Rajneesh Guru
