‘A smile is a curve that sets everything straight’
PHYLLIS DILLER
‘When you’re smilin’, when you’re smilin’, the whole world smiles with you,’ American jazz musician Louis Armstrong famously sang. And he was right, even in the most literal sense. You might have noticed that smiling while walking along a busy street works a strange kind of magic. Whether that smile is prompted by the sudden recollection of a pleasant memory or a deliberate effort to engage with a fellow human being in the smallest of ways is neither here nor there.
