The last couple of days I have made a point to smile to everyone that I can make eye contact with. Lately, I've been troubled that people do not smile back when smiled to and conversation is no longer part of everyday life, especially with people passing by. Today I smiled, as I normally do, and about three people simply looked or gazed at me with no emotion of happiness whatsoever. I almost asked, hello, did you see me smile at you? Why didn't you smile back at me? I completely gave them the benefit of the doubt and didn't ask but my curiosity kept going...
Spreading happiness is so easy. Smiling back isn't so hard, right? Has our modern culture become so lazy we can't even smile at each other? It merely takes less than a second. I remember when I wasn't having a great day, someone's smile made me think, wow, that was really nice of that person... it made me smile because someone else did...I have learned to appreciate people who smile back, I almost want to THANK them!
Spreading love and happiness is so important, it is as though our culture is losing it with the advancements of todays technology. I love telling people how much they mean to me and how wonderful they are and smiling crazy at random people. It makes my day for sure! Be happy, be positive and be smiling!
