Laughing at myself not laughing at myself

The only thing that's different about me is that I have mostly come to recognize the innate foolishness that's at the core of my persona. We can all see it in others but hope it's not so visible in ourselves. And I still have that. But at the same time, if someone says "All fools step forward", I'm putting on my clown hat and stepping forward. And nothing makes me happier and freer. Except for sometimes when I pretend that I'm not really a fool. Proof, of course, that I AM a fool!
