Smile Please. No, I am not going to take a picture of yours but you have not smiled for a while-or have you? Maybe yes, but not in reality, maybe virtually, maybe synthetically, maybe …….
Well, in today’s world, internet, civilization and globalization has given rise to different types of smile. But amidst this sophisticated jungle, man has forgotten the basic instinct that made the animal kingdom jubilant- the expression of happiness, love and gratitude, not the artificial forms, but from your inner heart.
Internet users, who form nearly 57% of world’s population, have invented a new form this expression (smile), they write LOL, i.e., “laugh out loud”, but tell me, do you(even you are one of this species) actually laugh out loud when you read something absolutely hilarious in the chats and respond it with a smiley or simply write LOL. They write ROFL, i.e., rolling on the floor with laughter, but do they actually do that, and even if someone starts doing it, he would be prescribed a medical treatment at a mental sanatorium.
But why is it so? Why can’t we actually express what we actually feel, why can’t we laugh out loud, why can’t we roll on the floor with laughter. It is not that we have never done these in our lives, we did all this when we were kids, rather toddlers, then why not now? What restricts us? Is it the society, the world we live in, which marginalizes our lives into bound rules as we grow up. But why it does so? Aren’t the world leaders trying to bring peace by bringing together people and solving grave issues in friendly terms, with a smile-they say. But where is the smile?
It is lost into oblivion. When was the last time you really had a hearty laugh? For most of us, the recent memory of such a situation might be some months old, if not years.
Today, we have laughing clubs, where people laugh without reason, is it laugh? Yet people attend those clubs, because they say laughter is contagious and it is good for health. Of course it is. So why not inculcate it in our lives, in real situations rather than using its artificial forms unrealistic forms. Each one of us have at least one such situation in our daily life which can bring a smile on our face, but in our fast moving lives we tend to ignore such small moments. Let’s not do that and smile at least once in a day. I think (for most of the people) that can keep the doctor away .
