It’s never as easy as they expect it to be for someone they’ve never really met before: smiling even when really and truthfully you don’t really feel like it. I admire as well as question those who seem to have this ability to smile through all the chaos occurring around them.
Yes on one hand I respect them because a certain degree of acceptance is required to admit that a lot of the word’s issues are beyond our control because that’s what perhaps enables us to smile trough the misery…at the same time however I also question just how much those who smile so openly have truly have that awareness for just how dark the world is becoming around them.
The truth as I see it makes it hard for me to smile because when I look around happiness is scarce, and scarcity renders jealousy in the hearts and minds of those even with the most sincere of souls.
Either way as the time ticks by and I progress with every increment I’m gonna have to learn how to smile through the highs and the lows. Sadly it doesn’t pay to be honest about how once feeling.
If it hasn’t happened already eventually it will turn into muscle memory, and heck even in one of my latest songs I’ve written about how lying seems to be everybody’s dayshift.
It’s just another one of those things that will have to be done. Even the best of us can’t get away from being dishonest about how they’re honestly feeling.
