Why I Smile

The last blog reminded me of something I wrote a little while ago. I hope you enjoy it:

Why I Smile

I love to smile. I've been asked why I'm always smiling, but I say that you can never smile enough. I smile because I'm free - free to live on my own accord and to love whom I choose. I choose to celebrate my love for liberty and for mankind through my 32 ivory brilliance of dental anatomy. It is my purest expression of joy...you should try it sometime.

A simple and honest smile has the power to melt down barriers between races, warm up cold faces, and open up closed spaces. The smile is the God-given panacea for the fear of the unknown, human insecurity, and hopelessness. It excites the lukewarm heart, penetrates the deeply-planted soul, and eases the turbulent mind. It is the most subtle, and yet the boldest, gift to give, and the happiest to receive. A smile is a glimpse into the core of man - his character, his values, and his passions; it is the keyhole through which we view the meaning of intimacy and human inter-connectivity.

I love to smile because I love to see YOU, and I want to see you happy. I smile because I treasure your friendship, I love your style, I think you're hilarious, and oh, I find you so beautiful. I smile because I see you frustrated, depressed, and stressed, and yet I know that it doesn't have to be that way. I smile to help you achieve your full potential, to maximize your happiness utility, to help you appreciate the simple beauty of life. I smile because I love.

So, I express my love for you with my canines, incisors, and molars. Accepting with humility the power in my jaw, and with an agenda to elicit joy. And I encourage you to smile more often, and let happiness trickle from your mouth and into the inner beings of those around you.

Smile!
