Answer 2

• It is preferable to keep certain emotions private.

Step-by-step explanation:

This lines begin with a non-serious inquiry. This kind of inquiries are normally used to demonstrate a point, so we realize the speaker is attempting to underline what we've seen so far as far as covers, suffering, and so on.

This inquiry has a somewhat snide tone to it, as though the speaker is recommending that there's nothing "over-wise" about realizing the fact of the matter that is plain to see, with or without the covers. At the end of the day, if something is basically gazing you in the face, at that point paying heed to it doesn't take all that much "knowledge."
