Smiling Through emotions

The city bus… carrying passengers through the crowds and traffic… changing direction at the turns and pausing at the stops and signals… an entire system facilitating life on wheels.

I was one of the passengers in a bus one day. Many thoughts were passing through my mind as they always do during a bus journey. As the bus made a temporary halt at a bus stop, my eyes fell over an advertisement. I didn’t focus on what it read, but I noticed the picture, in it were a few adults and children who were smiling.

A smile, what a beautiful positive emotion. Even if for a minute moment, a smile does tend to drive one away from the burdening thoughts of life and world. It is one of those positive emotions that I believe we learn from a very young age but somehow many of us forget to carry it more often in our older years.

The presence of smile is an important emotion, people even smile when they look at the photograph of a person smiling. If we can make a person important to us smile, it often means a lot to us in more ways than we can fathom.

I have a habit, whenever I recall the faces of people in my mind, I always see them smiling. Even if a person is no more among the us, I often look at their last smile in my memories when I think of them.

As for me, I try my best to carry this pleasant emotion everywhere I go although I am often told I should smile more. With time I hope to learn to smile more often and bask more deeply in its endless emotion.
