I am somewhat concerned that people, as a whole, tend to hide their emotions. They hide behind a courteous smile. I wonder if being more expressive would be better for all. In Spain, where I was born, and here in the States, you speak your mind.

I understand that's how things are and so on and so forth. I was just responding to the question. However, I cannot say if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
