Some people do it

The above image is not a joke! if we look deeply,

we can see some people do the same,

but in different forms!

Flowers

Is there anything more beautiful than a flower?
As a philosopher said flowers have an expression
of countenance as much as men or animals. Some
seem to smile; some have a sad expression; some
are pensive; some are honest and upright like the
broad-faced sunflowers. And perfumes are the
feelings of flowers.

Relationship

There is a Swedish proverb that says shared joy is
a double joy and shared sorrow is half a sorrow.
Of course it is about being with a good companion.
Unfortunately, there are lots of cases of emotional,
financial, sexual or physical abuse against a partner;
but despite all, they stay in the relationship.
May be because they are afraid of being alone!
Those who cannot tolerate abuse are pushed
to build walls instead of building bridges.

Doctors

There is an old proverb that says too many cooks

spoil the broth! What about many doctors, what

do they do to their patients?! Once Thomas Edison

said that the doctor of future will give no medicine,

but interest the patients in a proper diet and the

prevention of diseases.

Smile

Is there anyone who can resist a smile after

looking at the above picture?!

Smiling is contagious; when one person smiles,

it changes the moods of other people and makes

things happier. Studies have shown that smiling

releases endorphins which are natural pain killers.

But like all other things in life, a smile should be

natural. A forced smile is artificial and has no effect.

Natural smile comes from the heart and touches the

hearts of other people.

Hope

What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope

to the meaning of life.
