Thoughts #5: Significance of the Clown

I've been listening to a lot of oldies lately. The term clown is used quite often. The terminology of clown is much different than it was before. Today, clown is used to describe someone that is ignorant, a buffoon, someone that you laugh at.

Back in the day, the term seem like such a romantic idea. A clown is someone to put on a face, to make one smile. Even though her heart is somewhere else, when she's down. The clown appears to cheer her up. He makes her laugh at the expense of his own feelings. A sense of endearment, though it might seem misleading, mischievous, and probably dishonest; even though it was initially for good intentions. The clown is always shot down, in the end he is alone. That is the tragedy.

I've been thinking about clowns too much; it's not a phobia or a phillia.
