Smiling as Basic Peace Work

IF IN OUR DAILY LIVES WE
CAN SMILE, NOT ONLY WE,
BUT EVERYONE WILL
PROFIT FROM IT.

THIS IS THE BASIC KIND
OF PEACE WORK.

~Thich Nhat Hanh

Of Note: Smiling is the key to connectivity. It can open doors even when two people so not speak the same language. Imagine if people smiled more and fought less. This Smile Revolution could start small, one person to one person at a time. But eventually, one smiling pod would bump up against the next smiling pod. Soon all the cells would coalesce into one big smile. The world would never be the same because smiling not only adjusts our face in a more pleasant looking way but also our brain chemistry. Thus, this revolution would be a major adjustment for humanity's collective brain. Shall we start today?
