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, but as long as we can feel it, life is already worth it. Moreover, not only can we have feelings, we can also have 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.
If we have reliance, smiling is easy, but we are always anxious and therefore unable to smile. Based on politeness or profession, we may fake a smile, but fake smiles are a form of repression, and often playing the clown is more likely to suffer from depression. Fake smiles are not beneficial to others. A person who is not happy is difficult to make others truly happy. Smiling insincerely will even make people repulsive.
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.
