What is a Smile?
I think that the smile is the most interesting of reactions to get from someone. A smile can mean so many different things that it is hard to know which one you are looking at when you see a smile. A smile can mask emotions when someone is confused, nervous, anxious, or sometimes even angry. A smile can be used to flirt. A smile can be used when someone is shy and doesn’t know what to say. A smile can be used by the villain when they are up to something sinister. A smile can be used to show appreciation. There are many uses, but I really think that smiles bring confusion. It is easy to misread a smile.
I have heard someone say before to never trust someone who smiles a lot. At the time it seemed strange to me because we are trained to believe that a smile is a welcoming and warm gesture. It makes most people feel good to see someone smile. Now I’m not so sure they didn’t have a point. I guess it depends on the life experiences that get you to a conclusion like what you believe a smile is.

my smile is my greatest weapon. no, i don’t think i have a brad pitt or will smith “hunk” smile. but it puts people at ease. it helps me communicate when words just don’t work. it makes some people think i’m slow and others think i’m witty. i use it to flirt with some people and to hurt other people – just like you said in your post. most people smile like angels with shark-like intentions. That’s what I always look for. I always act like I’m being fooled by the smile, and I’m always searching deeper. Trust – or the lack there of – is a slippery slope. At some people you have to trust people to be themselves…
