BEHIND THE SMILE

Something happened one day and I noticed it's being like that all around . On that faithful day , a friend and I were delegated to take a guest to his apartment and while we were on the elevator I suddenly noticed we've been smiling at all what the man had been saying even when it's not funny , I had felt my humor level was faulty, so after we were done with the assignment , I asked my friend if all the man had been saying was funny ,she said 'no' and I asked her why she was smiling and laughing , she answered and said 'it won't be polite if we were just with a straight face and I don't think it will encourage him" .... At that point , I knew she was right but I was not convinced on why I was opening teeth at irrelevant discussion. I decided to ask few friends why they smile when they greet people even when they are not in good mood or good terms with the person . Mayb I should ask you why you do that too( that's if you smile )...the best answer I got was " I Dont know if I do ,but If i did smile while greeting you ,it's probably because you worth having my smile "( now you know why it's my best answer for the question) . Does that mean some particular people are worth having your smile ? What if I Don't feel like shining teeth does that mean I have not greeted someone enough? Isn't it awkward smiling around without a purpose? Or maybe people just want to put that hardship they are facing away and cover it up with a smile , but for how long? 

 

I have come to an understanding that we all are not all the same , the way we handle our issues is far different from one another and life they say is not smooth ,there are ups and downs , difficult situations happen in our lives that weigh us down and stops us from smiling attimes. Our sadness doesn't solve issues or make it any better. Let's put ourselves at the receiving end of the smile , it still doesn't solve our problems but it makes us feel loved and makes us remember that theres always light at the end of the tunnel .So therefore , let's give it back the way we want it ,let our smile be real ,knowing fully well that not smiling doesn't change people's issues but encourages people around . My dear friends ... SMILE because your smile is a reason for many others to smile . Smiling is the best way to face every problem,to crush every fear and to hide every pain. And guess what? An everyday smile makes you a day younger.
