The path to Tranquility (spring)
7. We have reasons to smile
There are reasons to smile, everything happens for a reason, and that
reason is what we want. Three-month-old babies already know how to smile, but
we often look sad. No reason to smile? Coming into the world is already a
lucky thing for us, and that is the biggest reason to smile.
Along the journey of life, there are sunny days, and also stormy days, more difficulties and setbacks. However, As long as we can feel it, life is already worth it. Moreover, we not only have feelings, but also wisdom, and can vaguely know the trend of changes in things. We are conscious beings, so we can face everything in the world with a smile.
As long as we have reliance, it is easy to laugh. But it’s hard to laugh if we’re constantly anxious. Based on politeness or profession, we may fake a smile, but fake smiles are a form of repression, and are not beneficial to others. A person who is not happy is difficult to make others truly happy. We will even bore others if we don't smile sincerely.
When there is joy in our hearts, we can smile sincerely. Observe everything in the world carefully, feel it with an open heart, we will discover many beautiful things, which are worth facing with a smile. When we feel true love, our smile will be incomparably beautiful.
Put aside anxiety and worries, cultivate a tranquil mind, and live for the beauty of life. Then, we will have more reasons to smile and enter an unprecedented realm of smiling.
