Smiling is a powerful tool that has the ability to uplift the mind, body, and soul. It serves as a symbol of self-beauty, appreciation for the surroundings, and the world at large. Additionally, smiling acts as a medicine that boosts our immunity and deceives the mind into believing that we truly love life. It is a game played by the muscles of our face, where the victory lies in spreading happiness and kindness, making it a true act of charity.
