A smile

I always thought that a smile could bring joy, especially when a small toddler smiles, you know what happens. Any person with even the slightest of humanity can't help but smile back. Some times it brings out giggles and some times a little tear of joy as well.
Is this always what a smile delivers? A hidden truth. Yes!! For most part when you smile you are not smiling for the simple reason of smiling. You either put up a smile to annoy someone; or if you just were cynical enough you give this smile that sends chills down the backbone. A smile to just make sure everyone around you knows that you are around; there is this other smile where you smile for getting recognized. And the fact that there is a smile meant especially for a really happy occasion.

And then there is this smile I recently discovered. A smile that is used to hide emotions. It works well at that as well one might say. I wish I had gone though life without ever having to do one of these. Life isn’t that simple is it?
Guess there is more to a smile that one might ever find out.
