How smiling can make the world a better place? The making of this world as a better place is not an easy task because of the problems in meeting the needs of all the people at the same time. Different people may have contrasting interests and it is impossible to go these diverse interests in parallel direction. For example, America wants to continue their dominance as the sole superpower in the world whereas China wants to challenge it. Under such circumstances, it is quite difficult to make a compromise between the Americans and the Chinese for a better world.
However, individuals can do something to make this world better. For example smiling has lot of power in establishing better relationships with others. This paper analyses the possibilities of smiling in the making of a better world. According to Andre Maurois, “Smile, for everyone lacks self-confidence and more than any other one thing a smile reassures them” (Building A Better World, One Smile At A Time). Smiling is the better way of establishing friendship with others. It is not necessary that the American president and the Indian prime minister may have any previous contacts.
However, during their first meeting they will greet each other with a warm smile which is necessary for the beginning of a new relationship. In other words, smiling can maintain and create relationships. If both the American and Indian leaders failed to smile their diplomatic meetings, people may get a feeling that something wrong happened between them. In other words, smiling is the gesture or measure of relationship building. According to Mother Teresa, “Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
And if the changes we want to see in this world, begin with a smile. Your smile is a precious gift” (Imagine Smile for a Change). Smiling can release the tensions. Smiling can be visible in the face of a person who is willing to establish friendship. In war fronts, smiling is a rare sight. Enemies will never exchange smiles whereas friends always start their meeting with a smile. It is quite possible that the smiling of a person can make his enemy think differently. Smiling can create an entirely different appearance for a person.
Even Bin laden may look pretty when he smiles. As Mother Teresa says, smiling is the symbol of love. Nobody would like to deny a love offer if it is a harmless one. “Today, give a stranger one of your smiles. It might be the only sunshine he sees all day” (Quotations About Smiles). Smiling is an invitation for a good thing. People always start good things with the help of a smile. For example, on all celebration occasions, people exchange smiles. In other words, smiling represents the happy mood of the person.
When a person is in happy mood, it is easy to establish better relationships with him. To conclude, smiling can definitely reduce tensions and strengthen relationships or friendships. In other words, smiling can help the people in the creation of a better world. Works Cited 1. “Building A Better World, One Smile At A Time”. Web. 29 April 2011. 2. “Imagine Smile for a Change”.
