Day of smiles

- A smile is the light in the window of your face that tells people you’re at home.

Smile. Today is the international day of smiling. World Smile Day was started by Harvey Ball in 1999, yes, that is the same guy that invented Smiley Face in 1963.

It's a funny thing with smiles. They can be sincere, fake, polite, weak, strong, happy.

And the quote above, makes me wonder about the many people that use smiles just like that. Just like it's used in the quote.
People leave the lights on in their house to let others know they're home - even if they aren't home. A sort of protection against intruders.
Think about it, do you do the same? Do you leave the lights on when you're not home? Do you smile when you have no reason to?

It might be world smile day, but is it a day for all kinds of smiles?
Probably. On one hand a fake smile is a sad thing, on the other hand, smiles are heart warming. Who knows, you might brighten up somebody's day with the light in your windows, even if you aren't home.
