Modesty

The line between modesty and pride must be drawn internally. When it is left to the majority (religion, class, race) we find ourselves "saving face", trapped behind an identity crisis. Why do we hide laughter, with teeth as white as ours? Why do we fold our hands with skills as ancient as ours? Behind what veil can we hide with faces as black as ours?
