When Tamer Lee Owens celebrated her 104th birthday,
she admitted with all sincerity that
"laughter, the Lord and the little things"
were the three true things that helped her keep going.
Tamer is right.
Different studies made in the past
have definitely linked laughter to longevity.
It is absolutely necessary that man makes use of laughter,
the best gift the human kind has been blessed
with to stand distinguished from animals,
to the maximum to win the race.
Even in the case of lovers,
though they say love at first sight,
the catalyst of the new bond,
we should not forget is only the smile that blossoms suddenly
but in the right proportion on the faces of the two involved.
We come across many candidates failing miserably
in their interviews despite having
a very good personality, intelligence and education.
Right from the time they enter the interview room till they leave,
they never give a chance to the interviewers to know that
they are capable of smiling too!
What a pity!
Moreover,
righteousness got out of deep faith in divinity
helps man to lead a contented life.
With this virtue imbedded in him,
he tries to be honest and trustworthy and eschews
gluttonic desires to augment wealth disproportionate
to his capacity and requirements.
It is but natural that peace dawns automatically
in such a person's heart,
unseating the evils like pressure and heartburn for ever.
We should never forget that small is beautiful.
Indeed little things make you feel more comfortable
than the tall big treasure troves acquired
or unaccountable success achieved.
They, without fail, destine you to get deserted
and set you miles apart from your loving family.
Man should learn to light up his face with a smile
born out of undiluted love and compassion.
It can be anything, seductive, divine or even mischievous.
Only care should be taken to see that,
the holy weapon of a smile is used only
for the benefit of mankind.
