True Smile

We smile, but it doesn’t mean we know how, as it may not be the one from the bottom of our hearts. How many of us would smile all we want, without giving a second thought to how the others might comment about us? How many would actually smile and not care about the fact that it may leave traces on our faces as time slipping through? How many would smile at some strangers passing by just to brighten up their day and not bother by the chances of others taking it as flirtatious? Read a book week ago, saying adults are the happier ones for they know how to solve their problems as time goes by and that the experiences and knowledge always come in handy, but personally find them less cheerful compared to many children who love and know how to smile. Certainly, it doesn’t mean everyone on Earth does not know how, but most of us. How often do we take smiling as a form of manners? How often do we not hide our feelings whenever we wish to smile? How often do we actually, truly smile? The answer lies in our hands, whether we would change for the brighter days or simply wonder why the others are smiling at us when there is the eye contact, like how we always would. There is no definition to a true smile really, because it is produced from the heart and not the mind.
