Why is the Smiley Face emoticon so sad?

[Harmonic Revelations 8,837]

 

Look at it. It's wallowing in depression. It gets up in the morning with barely the will to move, it gets dressed, does it's daily routine, all wearing that same fake and sickening smile.

 

Then it goes off to work, slowly sipping at the coffee that has no doubt become as cold as their icey black heart. He's dead inside but he wears a smile to fool his friends and family, to make them think that nothing is wrong. But inside he knows, he knows the true meaning of pain.

 

 

He has fallen far into substance abuse and this has cost him time with his children and much of his life savings. He no longer has the will to function from day to day. His wife asks what's wrong but he cannot muster any words. He sits there, while around him his entire world, his entire life, slowly falls apart.

 

He just can't bring himself to do anything about it, the anti-depressants the doctor has prescribed are only making it worse, and he has entirely lost control of his life. He sits there looking out at the city at night, at all the people who are happier and more fortunate than he is, and it saddens him.

 

So, why is the smiley face so sad?

This thread appears to be some manner of random (but strangely enjoyable) nonsense, or something spammy of the sort. Thus, it has been sentenced to the Forum Lounge section of Cloudsdale Colosseum. This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

^This is why the smiley face is sad. It just got moved from its original home. Like a governor in China forcing the villagers to move to build the 3 Great Dams. Would you let these cruel moderators move these poor defenseless emoticons at a click of a button? A second of loading?

Well what about your avatar, Yun Lee?

 

For all we know, he's permanently stuck in forced labour, lifting invisible boxes of illegal substances.

You just explained why Smiley Face is sad. Why are you asking us?

Because it's kinda similar to the forced grin Pinkamena has in the first frame of Gummy's party? (Can't believe I actually came up with a legitimate response)

 

The more pressing question is why the wink avatar is so angry. I mean, that face will snap a limb.

It's sad because rainbows can't be eaten.
