There is a fine line, an art form for those who are privy to it of…
“playing the fool versus actually being the fool.”
Ensuring that one doesn’t get so absorbed in the role of fool, that they become lost to who they are, requires resolve.
Playing the fool is like wearing a hat, it is an accessory… At the end of the day, we put the accessory back on the shelf and begin anew, true to who we are.
