When your feeling a little down would you like to see everyone in the world super happy?

when you're feeling really happy, do you want to see the rest of the world really down?! lol

Oh, I'm sure the contraction of certain cheek muscles in order to create a facade of happiness is going to do wonders to solve the world's problems. :rolleyes:

If you're smiling, you probably have a positive attitude so even if the world is a ****hole it doesn't seem quite so bad.

A smile is infectious, pass it on :biggrin:

I like it when people smile at me in the street for no apparent reason. There's a postman I cycle past alot who smiles at me and I often find that alot of elderly people smile and say "good morning/afternoon" to me. It makes me happy.

Happy people can have a positive influence on others.

once poverty, war, injustice, and other global problems are solved then we can all smile...
i'm a smiley person (well thats what my mates say ) but smiling won't automatically make this world a better place to live in...

It may not solve all or any of the major world problems, but it would give us a more positive outlook on life, therefore making the world seem better and also if everyone was slightly happier, the world would be better (comparitively- I'm not saying that it would be all good).

No, the world will still be as **** as it is right now.

A smile can be misleading, so be careful how you use it.

Are we supposed to infer that the 'no' option means the world would be a worse place. Otherwise option 3 is redundant?

I don't know about anything as drastic as the world being a better place, but it would certainly make some people's day. You don't ever know what other people are going through and a smile or a hello might affect them in a way you don't reaslise.

Smiling can instantly boost one's sex appeal, so in theory if everyone smiled, then we'd be a world full of sexy people. That's gotta be a good thing :wink:
