It's emphasis, using your words... and it's not a joke" Oh, I get it. The smiley is "emphasis" and not a joke! I used to have a dog, Dak, who barked at a bone. They are both dead now. Did you ever watch "Grand Hotel"? Great movie!

Peerrhaps this will help you, young man... "Mankind's youth begin life in various degrees of longing, wistfullness, passion and agonised confusion. Not a view, but a foggy, groping, undefined sense made of raw pain and incommunicable happiness. It is a sense of enormous expectation, that great achievements are within one's capacity, and that great things lie ahead. It is not in the nature of man, nor of any living entity, to start out life by giving up, or by spitting in one's face and damning existence. Some give up at the first touch of pressure; some sell out; some run down by perceptible degrees and lose their fire, never knowing when and how they lost it. "Then all of these vanish in the vast swamp of their elders who tell them persistently that maturity consists of abandoning one's mind; security of abandoning one's values; practicality of losing self-esteem. "Yet a few hold on and move on, knowing that the fire is not to be betrayed learning how to give it shape, purpose and reality. Whatever their future, at the dawn of their lives, man seeks a noble vision of man's nature and of life's potential. Only a few in each generation will grasp and achieve the full reality of man's proper stature -- and that the rest will betray it. Those who do, move the world and give life its meaning." (Ayn Rand)
