Meh. I greet the world with a smile.The worried life is no life for me.

Of course, I'm not afraid of a little scrap, gimpy though I might be -- so I don't worry. There's very little a smile won't solve, and I'm not about to mortgage my happiness for assuming everyone I meet is a potential threat. And if I do perceive a threat, I distance myself from it.

But I sure don't chew my teeth about it day-to-day.
Interesting. http://www.scientificamerican.com/articl...-almost-a/

"Baring one's teeth is not always a threat. In primates, showing the teeth, especially teeth held together, is almost always a sign of submission. The human smile probably has evolved from that.

"In the primate threat, the lips are curled back and the teeth are apart--you are ready to bite. But if the teeth are pressed together and the lips are relaxed, then clearly you are not prepared to do any damage. These displays are combined with other facial features, such as what you do with your eyes, to express a whole range of feelings. In a lot of human smiling, it is something you do in public, but it does not reflect true 'friendly' feelings--think of politicians smiling for photographers.



In the art of war, deception and seduction and there are few things more used to deceive than the smile.
"Leave it to me to find a way to be,
Consider me a satellite forever orbiting,
I knew the rules but the rules did not know me, guaranteed." - Eddie Vedder
