Smiling. Why?
If you smile a lot you get wrinkles. But our culture tells us that wrinkles are ugly and need to be eradicated at all cost. Wrinkles mean you are old and not fun anymore. Some think that having wrinkles are the end of youth, vitality and life.
How much money, time and pain is spent on the pursuit of a smooth wrinklefree face. Think of all the creams and coverups, the surguries and injections and the tears shed trying to make a person's face look like it did as a child. The sad fact is that wrinkles make people sad.
Why then is smiling so important? If you are not smiling people think you are mad, sad, sick, rude, uncaring, unkind, mean, tired, irritated, or just plain stupid. We are told to be polite and smile from the time we learn to talk. Ever have a photograph taken without someone yelling "smile!". Even complete strangers will stop and say "smile its not that bad" if they catch you with out a grin.
We must choose, do we smile and face the consequence of the wrinkled face or do we save our smooth skin and smiling faces and risk offending everyone around us? It is a pathetic world we live in when a wrinkled face is such a concern.
Remember a fat face (smile or not) doesn't wrinkle!
