We can’t live without it. If we don’t laugh, we disintegrate, and then we die . . . slowly pine away.Everything we do in life is relative to laughter. To laugh is to love, to laugh is to understand, to laugh is to forgive; we must laugh. The laughter of children is beautiful, and a smile can be devastating.
Let me tell you the meaning of a smile.
It costs nothing, it creates much, it enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give; it happens in a flash, and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. There are none too rich that can get along without it and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.
It creates happiness in the home, fosters goodwill in a business, and is the countersign of friends.
It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and nature’s best antidote for trouble, and yet it cannot be begged, bought, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no earthly good to anyone, until it is given away.
So if in the course of the day, your friends may be too tired to give you a smile, why don’t you give
them one of yours, for nobody needs a smile more than those who have none left to give. Smile!
