Laughing is the best therapy and smiling is an open door for communication.
Laugh with the Insights of our own ridiculous or false selves, or of tension situations can be a liberating cathartic process in human beings.
Empathy is correlated and behind the type of smile as people is really feeling it or not.
A real smile must be supported by real empathy in relation to the other human beings.
Thanks for professional analysis @charlie777pt
Smiling (and laughter), to me, represents an "opening," of sorts... an invitation. Just like frowning (on the opposite end) feels more like a "closing;" an avoidance of contact.
So I'm not surprised smiling is good for us!
Good one - thanks @denmarkguy - sure everyone is smiling on you
