Give a smile, if nothing else...

Driving after work, my eyes were caught by a creative placard carried by a guy on the road – “GIVE A SMILE, IF NOTHING ELSE.” He looked homeless to me, for obvious reasons. But while begging for coins from drivers, he also flashes a sweet and natural smile. A smile so contagious and powerful, definitely switched me into a better mood. So why don’t we…give a smile if nothing else :-)

Postscript: The guy got coins and bills and a couple more smiles.

Smile and others will smile back. Smile to show how transparent, how candid you are. Smile if you have nothing to say. Most of all do not hide the fact you have nothing to say nor your total indifference to others. Let this emptiness, this profound indifference shine out spontaneously in your smile. Jean Baudrillard
