We smile at the world. Unconditionally

I've been feeling something gloomy these days

And found it very hard to smile at strangers

Then, walking on the street today

Saw a cafe

Inside. A young woman with short blond hair cooking

She slightly turned her head & caught my eye

Our eyes met

But I was unable to give her smile

I gave her my face with no emotion
Perhaps, with even some amount of anger

Regardless
she put a slight, faint smile on her face

Then, turned her head back, and continued what she had been doing

---

It was all momentary incident

Less than 0.5 second

But it reminded me of this apparently apparent fact;

"Human beings smile unconditionally"

---

I was thinking that
people smile, just because I smiled at them first

But this incident, this woman, told me;

she smiles without any input
she smiles anyway
she smiles unconditionally

---

Felt like
I saw the unconditional cheerfulness & brightness of human beings through her

Humans beings are goodness
