You know that feeling… when inside you are wrenchin’ in agony and tormented and then you meet someone at that time, and you give that ‘friendly’ smile.
The smile… that you conjure up by stretching each and every muscle of your face. The body and mind resist its automation, still you give it, so that the person in front of you returns the same as a sign of cordiality… and when the moment is gone… you’re back to reality.
Hell, maybe I should replace all the ‘you’s with ‘I’s. What the hell anyways!!
But this is something we are trained for. Here is the ranking, in ascending order:
1. The painful ‘you-are-getting-worse’ smile.
2. ‘Something-seems-to-be-troubling-you’ smile.
3. ‘Hell!-things-are-normal!’ smile.
4. ‘Jolly-good-day’ smile.
5. ‘You’re-creepin’-people-out’ smile.
I rank 3 or 5. But no. 2 comes too…
Masking happiness is painful and tiring job.
