Beneath the smiles

A smile can hide a lot of things: secrets, lies, deceit, hardships, failures, disappointments, and a lot more than I can list here.
I am one person I believe people have taken advantage of, in all fronts. I cannot pretend to be the saint here for I also think, know, I have done the same too. But that is a story for another day.
I have been accused of many things, but nothing ever came close to when my life was almost being threatened by a jilted man who had wrongly confused me, thinking I was after his wife. I did not even know the alleged wife's name! Again, that might be a story for another day too :-).
At times I do smile, not that I might be particularly at that time, rather I think it's a way of politely wanting the issue being discussed from exploding to unmanageable levels.
So what do you need to do when things might not be going your way, smile some more. It's therapeutic to do so as compared to having a grumpy face :-)
