Smiling does not cost. Smile can solve many problem, smile can make many new friends, smile can make person loveable.Smiling is sign of healthy mental state. Many of us needs a great effort and stress the face muscle to mimic smiling. Some of smiling becomes very artificial and funny, I have noticed those in many of the great leaders and politicians' smiling. A business smile is that of a salesman or sales woman to sale his product or service. A political smile is smile to is the smile of a leader or politicaian to achieve his political target Ther are many other smile which are not natural and have intention behind. A baby's innocent smile without any intention behind is the best smile.

There is also the sarcastic smile. Some people don't smile because they don't feel like doing. Or they thinking deep about their problems that they couldnt smile. Being heartbroken is not easy to smile too.

You can smile when you can't say a word, when you cannot be heard you can smile, when it's cloudy or fair you can smile anytime anywhere. It's part of a song. Genuine smile, fake smile, whatever smile as long as it's smile will make a difference in yourself in others. people who rarely smiles have problems maybe they forgot to smile and ease out the burdens, others don't smile because by not smiling they think they look like models LOL. Let us recycle smiles.

Little angel smile =) - This is my 1 year old niece.. She is very cute and shabby little girl.. I really love when she smile because it seems a little angel is smiling at me..
Yes of course the baby smile is the most precious and natural smile ever because babies are innocent and they don't have yet any ideas about smiling for the sake of purposes.. I love to see baby smiling even they don't have teeth, they are still cute.. I'm so touch and happy to see baby smiling at me.. It seems that a little angel is smiling at me and I can smile with their smile.. People who are smiling just because of their behind purpose, for me they don't know the real meaning of smile and happiness because their smile is fake.. I hate people smiling at me an intentionally.. Well, I admit sometimes that I used to smile to people that I don't like to be with but I'm just doing it for the sake they won't feel bad.. It is not nice that someone smile at you but you just ignored them of course they will really feel bad and I don't want it to make them feel bad..

You are right. Soemtimes without any reason may make situation funny or others may feel the person as a mad. But I am talking about general. May be I am sitting in a train or bus, another person - I do not know him is going to sit beside me. If I greet him wit a smile then nothing to loose, may be we end up becoming a good friend.

hi A baby's smile is purely heavenly. Yes, smile is always good to keep mind free and light. Politicians and salesmen work under huge pressure. I think their purposeful smile help them to get rid of their stress. Anyway, even an artificial smile is better than a rigid face. Smiling is a great weapon to win friends.

Sometimes people do not like to smile because they have bad teeth. I was always self conscious about my teeth but have learned not to let it bother me so much. Other people are too depressed or self involved to smile at anyone. People who have low self esteems may not feel comfortable showing expressions that draw attention to them. The price of a smile is far too costly to some people who suffer from any of these internal conflicts yet one smile can make a difference when directed at someone else who is having a bad day.

Hi bostonterrio. Thanks for new information. Sometimes we may misunderstand someone for becoming very tight faced even in a light situation. We should understand that other person may have real problem to smile.

Many people wear fake smiles nowadays. Some fake smiles are caused by difficulties in life...lack of money...unemployment...family problem, and the likes. Some fake smiles were worn for selfish motives...like a politician who wants to win the election...a vendor who wants to sell! But I agree with you that a baby's innocent smile is the best smile. It is the sincerest smile ever given in this world. There is nothing artificial...it all came from the heart. A baby's smile can melt the sorrows in a mother's heart. A baby's smile can bring sunshine to a dim room. A baby's smile can revive a waning hope. A baby's smile soothe an aching heart. Indeed, it is the best smile ever.

Maybe because a lot of bad things are happening around us that we can't smile at all. For me I know it's easy but it really is hard if you have a lot of things not to smile about. However if I can't take it anymore I just smile my problems away.

Hi mokbul, Interesting topic, i guess smiling depends on persons mood. If she feel happy and glad it is easier to smile or maybe laugh at the same time, but in other way around some cannot hide their true feeling especially when they feel sad and lonely you cant fake it. Your facial expression and body gresture show your true feeling even you smile. Smiling make meaning if you really felt it in the buttom of your heart. Have a great day. SMILE

My favorite smile is coming from my enemy that would like to reconcile with me. If that happened even my heart smile and feeling the unexplained happiness inside. If we smile to somebody who knows we save his life. Maybe that time is, he wanted to end his life but suddenly we saw him and give him a friendly smile that sucked to his heart. Exactly he was enlightened his mind and forget about his plan.
