Babies can start 'happy-smiling' (from emotion) when they are 4-6 weeks old. Thought to be a reflex or a trait learned socially, either way this small gesture can mean the world from the right person. Next time you see your mum smile, notice her heart warm through her eyes and when your friend laughs until she cries, notice in that moment she has forgotten everything except joy. Or the couple in a coffee shop who smile only for each other. Feel your own cheeks ache when around those you love. And remember that when your day is difficult or dull, someone, somewhere is having the best day of their lives. And that these days forget no one. The only cure for the evils of this world is compassion, laughter, love and smiles :)
