a smile or a tear, which one would you attend first, say a friend who had a smile, would you be inquisitive or attracted and go there or a friend who has a tear, would you just run away or attend to that persons feelings? be honest.

Taken the kind of person I am I would be disturbed enormously to see my friend sad and down. I would definitely talk to her/him and try to figure out the reason and remedy hereafter. That's how I am. A friend with a smile is lovely to watch and to be with but at the back of mind I would want to empathasize to the one who is sad. Thanks.

If you go for a smile you'll get tears back, if you go for tears you'll be loaded with smile. The trouble is that everyone go for smile only. :)

Honestly, i go for a friend with a tear on her face than a friend with a smile, coz a friend with a tear means she/he need a person who can talk to and need to share his/her emotion, and who knows I can help her/his save his life.... At least a friend with a smile in her face shows that she's happy and nothing wrong with her life..

i would attend to the friend with tears first, he needs me or at least someone to be with him. i may not be the comforting friend but at least in my own little way of just sitting beside him and letting him know that hey, everything will be alright, and by just merely tapping his shoulders until he stops crying... i think that would be the best i could do to help a friend with tears

I am really not good in handling friends with tears because I dont know how I can heal them though i tried in the past, but i doubted my words were really help? and then i was stucked on what to say to get them better. Yet, my heart be with them, hang with them just to make sure they are safe. I can attend friends with smiles anytime and thats not the priority. magic.

I think it is good to be with the friend who is in tear first to be with him as a support in his downs. A person in tear needs someone to support him. But a happy person has high feelings and his feeling is good and even if you are not there he will still be happy. And as the saying goes your friendship when be tested at hard times. So that friend in tear is in his hard time and need someone to lean on. You are a true friend of him.

Apple,You posed an interesting question.My first instinct would be to the person that was crying;If there was a way in which to relieve someones pain I'd certainly hope to do so.Only cold,despicable humans revel in human suffering.However,I think that most people are uncomfortable with approaching a stranger in this manner and prefer not to get involved.It's interesting how you posed the question around the use of the word Friend..I wonder if the responses would be the same with regard to strangers.

hi thinker. thats good really , i mean cool thinking. yeah, only cold people enjoy othres' suffering, you are right, i know a lot of them and i know where they are haeding to. if only they realised that life is about sharing happiness and the results are manyfolds. anyways. i feel that if one goes to a stranger who is suffering and does the best to guide that person, one is a real hero. but the only thing to be kept in mind is to never compromise your faith, that is faith in GOD. help is always good but coming out of it clean is also good and i don't mean selfishly but there are some people that we think need us but the first thing they refuse in their own lives is the love of GOD, this i find amazingly strange. apart from this i am willing to give every thing and know what it holds. hahaha. you rea a good person, you know that? love, apple.

i would go to the one with a tear and put a smile on their face,and if there was enough time i would go to the one with the smile,and make that smile continue by laughter joy,and happiness.i would feel great to have accomplished both,because that would give me a smile,and a tear of joy.great question.

without question i would see what my friends tears where about, maybe there happy tears or laughter tears, maybe thats why the other friend is smiling!? if my friend was distressed i would try my best to console and cheer her up, an ear or a shoulder is all i can offer but maybe a smile from me would do the trick....

I would go to the friend who has a tear. The friend who wears a smile is happy from what I can tell. This friend will do just find. But a friend who has a tear is more dramatic because I feel like going over there to comfort her because she is either not feeling well or she is going through some trouble times. Either way the friend who has a tear needs me more than the one that has a smile. I would go seek out the weakest one and help him/her first....

I would see to the person who had a tear first. To see what was wrong and if there was anything that I could do. Then I would attend to the person who had a smile to see if they could share what made them smile.

First go the friend who is in tears and make sure she starts feeling better. If not laughing at least make her smile. Then go to the friend who is smiling and make SURE she starts crying (with Happiness) LOL . Anyway wiping someone's tear is more important than sharing a smile with someone who is already smiling :)

Though a Smile brings thousand Cheers, a tear.. weighs and makes 1000 good hearts to feel. So its my instinct to rush to the one who is in tears and have patient hearing for the cause of his crying.. and just make him feel at home, and atleast try to defer his/her worries for the time being. Happy mylotting. Take care my friend.

i'd attend to the friend who's in tears first. that friend probably needs me more than the one who's smiling. after i'm done cheering-up that friend, i'll join my smiling friend to celebrate his/her happy occasion.
