Expression

What happens when we go thru something in our life ? How do others come to know about what we are going thru ? What makes a happy person differ from one who is sad ? What do we do when we are happy or similarly what shows we are sad ?

Answer to all these questions is in just one word - EXPRESSION, expression of feelings !! We smile, laugh, grin and cheer up when we get happy. On the other hand, we cry, sob or feel down whenever we are sad. Don't we ? Yes, we do.

Now, here is what I want to talk about this very simple and common things of expression. What decides that a smile is always an expression of happiness ? What decides tears rolling down the eyes always denote sadness ? On the contrary, there have always been instances, where tears show extreme happiness.

I have seen ppl in my life who use to have a very different way of expressing there feelings than others, and in fact, they never failed to convey there feelings. Though, not all can decipher the true meaning of every expression. But, one thing is for sure, those who have been thru such things can understand. What happens when we are disappointed immensely but have none next to us to share the load ? Few may cry, others may get angry or may panic. But, trust me on this, I have seen ppl who just stare blank at the sky or to a point zero, without uttering a single word or showing any symbol of stress on there face. Does this mean, that, situation does not have any impact on them ? Certainly not. They are impacted as well, it's just that they don't want others to know, what exactly are they going thru.

Few ppl keep smiling, instead of immense pain or problems that they have in there lives. This may keep the environment around them positive and happy, but at the same time this helps them prevent others from digging into there wounds and hurt them more. Because, they feel, it's better to keep things to oneself rather than to let ppl keep digging the same repeatedly.

So, pls stop stereotyping expressions. A smile doesn't always say, all is well or a tear doesn't always mean one is stressed.

Life is short, let's stay happy and help ppl stay happy in whatever possible way we can !!

Thanks !! Love !! GudBye !!
