Our smiles

Smiling is the best medicine. And if smiling is a medication, what kind of disease would a smile cure? I have always heard this phrase, and I have never contested it. I imagine that smiles are medicine to reduce our problems, and there is a connection with the anguish of living.
When we are crying, it seems like living in a particular hell, a lot of life problems and daily tragedies which we cannot solve, and they hurt us. When we smile and turn our heads up, we open our mouths to laugh a lot, and experience to live far away from our problems. This level of happiness would be a way to reach heaven to become closer to the gods of joy.
When we smile, we don’t perceive, for a moment, the world around us. It’s like to go back in time to experience our childhood again and play with our favourite toy. And we can revive our memory lane to bring back a life full of hope. Smiles would be a gateway to send us to another universe, where there are only good feelings and joy.
Smiles are like drugs that absorb us and turn us into another person. Smiles are the balsams that we need to live our lives in peace.
But we don’t smile when someone tells us a joke or describes a comical situation. Smiling is like a solution for solving complicated problems, and this solution guides us to another dimension. A dimension so close to geniality that we reach a level of satisfaction to imagine that this moment belongs only to us. This atmosphere of happiness arises when we surprise someone doing something smart, or remember situations in the past that make us happier and comfortable.
We find ourselves smiling at nothing when our thoughts are full of joy, and we feel that our imagination is alive; it seems like a good moment happening at that moment. We smile when we are recognized in the street by an old friend, or we believe we find our soulmate walking beside us.
We hide our smiles to avoid problems. We keep them hidden to enjoy far away from others.
We smile when our loved ones go away, hoping they return home victorious.. We smile when he arrives, and we are anxious and nervous, exhibiting a big welcome smile on our faces. We smile a little if we are surprised by making mistakes, and only a shy smile can persuade another that the situation is not exactly what he is thinking, but…
Otherwise, we give grim and ironic smiles when we peer at someone making mistakes, and surprise him. It is like making an affectionate admonishment, and we demonstrate that we understand the action. If one tries to repeat, he will be in trouble, and our smile can disappear.
In conclusion, try to smile everywhere, at everyone, and yourself. Or no one will smile at you.
