Smile at Life


When we smile even though our hearts are filled with worry, we reduce our suffering and open a door to the way out. Do not hesitate to smile, for inside us there is a kind of energy full of smiles. Beware of suppressing it, for that means that we are strangling ourselves with pain and suffering. It will not harm us if we smile, even when we are talking to others about serious matters from the depth of our hearts.

How wonderful it is when our lips speak the language of smiles!

A westerner once said: “Smiling is a social obligation,” and he was right, because if we want to mix with people, we have to be nice to them. We have to understand that social life requires human skills at which we have to be proficient, one of which is smiling.

This is a social phenomenon which is common to all people. When we smile at people, we are giving them glad tidings of the best that they can hope for. But if we meet them with a face that is devoid of compassion, we are tormenting them and disturbing them with such appearance.

How can you accept to be the cause of other people's misery?
