Our Hearts Strive

Did you know that a smile is probably one of the most infectious things in Planet Earth? We can’t resist an honest smiley face. Our hearts strive for it. A glance at a smiling face can lift our moments, in this otherwise busy and hateful world, to an all new height, even if it is for a few split seconds. Here is a photograph of a smiling face which can make us forget all of our sorrow for a moment to say the least. Don’t you think so? Looking at this pretty innocent smile, don’t you feel that the world is still beautiful? Even the concrete jungle can’t take away the innocence.
