Finishing the sentence XLV

Another unfinished sentence of mine from May 1989 and some of its responses:

According to Pozzo, a character in Samuel Beckett's Waiting For Godot, "crying is a universal quality.  Whenever someone stops, somewhere else someone else starts.  The same is true of the laugh..."  However, one time when everyone would (seemingly) cry or laugh in unison is...

...(cry) when everyone discovers their true nature. (Don M.)

...(laugh) when we all realize how fake people really are. (Sue A.)

...(cry) when the last tree is cut down. (Nick K.)

...(laugh) when everyone here figures out that most of the things we think are important in this world are not important at all. (Kelly G.)

...(cry) when we finally, permanently and irrevocably pollute (or nuke) this earth to such a degree that all life will end. (Betsy B.)

...(laugh) when we all realize that we all do the same things that are embarrassing. (Eric C.)

...(cry) when music disappears from the earth. (Chris A.)
