A Simple Smile Is More Special Than You Think

By A Friend • May 29, 2025

I just passed a man while walking in the park and turned back to give him a (somewhat cursory, I thought) smile and hello.

After a moment, he said to me that I was the only person who looked at him with a smile—that everyone else looked at him with a mean or blank expression.

I thought it was pretty remarkable how my simple smile made such an impression. It caught me off guard. I laughed a little and told him to pass it on.

A smile costs nothing, yet it's priceless.
