SMILE

It used be very confusing for me why some people found it so hard to smile. Why i thought? when its so easy. Research suggests that people who smile more age less. As I grow older i find that circumstances make it hard for some people to lift their cheeks up. Its really not worth the effort for people who have nothing to smile about. It is not because they want to show the world how miserable they are or make everyone else around you cry with pity. When everything around is you is falling apart its hard to push it back and smile like nothings wrong. Most of the miserable people you see are not really frowning at you they are probably lost in thought and trying to make sense of it all.
Can you smile when your son is dying? Can you smile when you can't afford the bare essentials? Can you smile when your dreams are dying? You might at times but its not easy for everyone. Having faith helps a lot in times of distress. But once again its hard to keep it together when everything is falling apart. So think twice before you judge that old woman on the road who refuses to smile. (Tell it to yourself nisa you judgemental fool)
