    baby, why do people try to hit us with their cars?”
    “well, mama, it’s because they are unhappy and unhappy people like to hurt things.”
    “aren’t there any happy people?”
    “there are many people who pretend that they are happy.”
    “why?”
    “because they are ashamed and frightened and don’t have the guts to admit it.”
