In today's world, I have no idea what's with that smile? I can't tell if it's real or not since most people are faking it to have approval from someone. I remember when I encountered a security guard long ago in a certain mall. He said he needed to smile as a courtesy and also to encourage people to shop at the mall. It means to say he's just faking it because he was being told to do so. It's not important if he's happy or not as long as he could show the people that he was happy in that situation. 

Actors are no different from what that security guard did. They can cry or smile in front of the screen because that's what they're being told. I wonder if it's easy or not since unlike me, emotions are so hard to fake. Sometimes I lose control because I can't control my emotions. That's why it got me wondering sometimes, no, most of the time when I encountered people I just met. Maybe even on this platform, I'm curious if those people I interacted with showed real feelings. Like smiling or being happy since we don't have a mutual understanding. 

It's normal for you to smile when you know someone is bumping on the road. A friend or not, it's not important as long as you show that smile for someone to think you know them. I often do the same because even though it's not obvious I don't want people to think I ignore them. It hurts when you'll be ignored and I felt that years ago. It's right or not, I'm still curious if that's the right thing to do. I mean, to smile is to show only for those who you love to see or to hang out with.

Of course, being with friends is different because you are aware that you are happy to be with them. There's no denying it, all of us can understand that kind of impression. What I'm wondering is how people can smile in front of someone and suddenly frown at their back? Do we not feel guilt by lying to ourselves, not to others? Also, won't they think they're betraying someone by doing that? What if it happens to them? Are you aware that most people used, "let them taste what they did is the sweet revenge?" Don't they think it might happen to them in the future?

Smiling is precious just for you to know. Don't mind the actors or the professionals when they're at work. They were told to do so because it's part of their job that should be implemented by them. Although, smiling back at a person who just smiled at you is courtesy. You don't need to feel bad because you're showing a smile to someone even though you don't know them. You're doing that as a sign of respect to others and respect to yourself as well. Don't mix the person's emotions with your profession. 

What is not right is when you show a smile to certain someone to get their trust and then it was just a lie. You exchange laughter and when you don't see each other you're talking behind their backs. Make sure to show that smile without faking it especially with friends. It's better to show your true emotions, it's easier to understand if you'll show it instead of hiding it from that smile. You just don't hurt others secretly but you're hurting yourself by compressing your true emotions. That's why if you are smiling, of course, you are happy. There's no need for different emotions by showing that sweet smile.
