Smile -By Abodunrin Temiloluwa

Smile is a facial expression comprised by flexing the muscles of both ends of one’s mouth, often showing the front teeth without vocalization.

This in human is a common involuntary or voluntary expression of happiness, pleasure, amusement or anxiety. But who dey smile for 9ja? In the world shaped by woes? Where tranquility is but a luxury? Where every course of life directs itself? I bet it’s not easy but who is man? Psalm 8:4 asked the same question. It’s a age longed desire to know man’s identity and originality.

Who man is as been aligned with scientific research which has made it be complicated and confusing. The fact that a scientist made a research about a specific animal or about nature and came out with something convincing doesn’t mean that whatever the says about man is.

The Bible says, “ye are gods, son of the most high. If the world renowned scientist hasn’t reach the highest peak of the heavenly realms nor understand the existence of God, who is he to know himself?

Irrespective of what you’ve discovered or what you have been taught, smile is more spiritual than what we think it is. Smile comes in different situation and circumstances but it has been misused and misinterpreted no wonder there are more of fake and self provoked smiles than real ones.

When do you smile?

Many people smile for various reasons whether they are going through divers kinds of afflictions, failures, pain and sorrows. Some smile when they are flustered, anxious and even scared. Many even smile to appear confident and also show that they understand somethings all of these are good but;

When should you smile?

When should you smile is indeed something that most be take note of. It doesn’t mean that you should restrain it sometimes then let it come forth at another time. Smile is an expression of intense happiness often known as joy that comes from within. Smile should be God invoked not man provoked. Smile is not something a man can force because under are layers of thick darkness.

To be happy and consistent in the world that you and I know have come to know, your smile should be provoked by something mighty and higher than you. Sorrows may tarries in the night but joy cometh in the morning. When going through things that are beyond your control whether pain or sorrow, trials and trouble, even the thick and thin of life, let your joy come from within that it may be expressed as a beautiful smile and your well sculptured face.

Let your smile speak volume, let it give message of hope that whatever you are going through has an end. You weren’t born with it, you can live through it!!!
