Him, who incessantly laughs in the street, you may commonly

Summary

This quote suggests that someone who appears to be constantly happy and lighthearted in public may actually be struggling or unhappy in private. The contrast between their public persona of laughter and their private behavior of grumbling indicates that they may be hiding their true emotions or experiencing inner turmoil. It serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving and that people may be dealing with internal struggles that are not immediately apparent.
