We all long
happiness, whether we long it for ourselves or for loved ones. We all pray for
happiness , pray for a solution to our problems and when we overcome the
problem we all undoubtedly feel happy even if it’s the faintest sensation in
the deepest corner of our heart, we will be happy. There is a sign of happiness
which we all learn even without acknowledging the fact of learning it, there is
a simple majestic beauty in this sign which when shown by any life form
conveys a warm gesture. This sign we
call a smile. Its conveys acceptance and happiness, doesn't even take much to
achieve, it is the first thing you did when the first time you felt the
sensation of being happy. They are mutual such that happiness would bring a
smile and smile would bring happiness.
You may disagree
that smiling can bring happiness by pointing out countless cruel situations
when you might be alone and disheartened, sadly possibly crying and say there
is no point smiling, that it won't get them the happiness they long. But my
character of being a realist which is sprinkled with layers of optimism says
that in such dire situations smiling won't bring happiness but it will surely
calm the feeling of your heart falling unendingly and change your perspective.
Its not easy but if just simply remembered to smile you choose to overlook the dull side of any
situation and you accept the present. A smile at those times is your personal
helping hand, shoulder and a sign of courage from the aching heart. Its as
beautiful as phoenix rising from fire. Such smile now days are indeed rare.
People have an ideology of smiling because they are happy and not smiling to
bring and spread happiness. Its so heartwarming to see a person smile as the
interaction, however lengthy, comes to a conclusion. After you meet someone
maybe completely new, if they leave with a smile note that you made a
difference, you made the difference of making that interaction a kind one and
not a one where two people meet with blank expressions, ideally achieve the aim
of meet and then leave as emotionless as their meet or even make it worse by
being rude. You at that point choose to make it a kind, fruitful meet and you
achieve this by very small gestures such like offering water to a the mailman
on a hot day or saying thank you to the gloomy immigration officer at the
airport or simply by smiling and walking through the street someone would
surely take a glimpse of your happiness and would choose to be happy rather
than bland.
