Value of a Smile

I think one of the most valuable things in the world is a smile. People who have amazing smiles seem to get further in life. Seem to have people go out their way for them. All the celebrities have mastered the action and even the dental industry try to cash in on the market with teeth whitening procedure and products. All services marketed show the employees working away with these huge smiles? (Except that wendy's with the see you tomorrow sign)

But what is the real value of the smile? Why does it warm the heart when someone you care about smiles? What is it about that action that is so desirable, pleasurable and amazing? Maybe its because in the world most people have an indifferent facial expression or a frown? Which is odd because it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown. Maybe our dull world gets brighten with a smile, even if its from a stranger? I believe its a comforting feeling a genuine smile. Its something that makes you hope that you can be as happy as the person who is smiling. If you care about someone the smile is a magical way to confirm that they are okay and happy.

Either way I believe the world would be a much brighter place and everyone would be so much happier if we all just smiled a little more. Smile its always in style :)
Buggie and Didi I hope you both always have a reason to smile and that you are both always happy
