I personally find this philosophy to be dangerously idiotic. But I will concede that sometimes it is helpful.
Well, we could think about this another way. Typically, one thinks of a smile as something that expresses only happiness. But really smiles occur during a multitude of situations and with various emotions (and thus this is why a cat’s purr is best described as the equivalent of a human smile).
So yeah you can smile pretty much during whatever.
But, yeah if it’s just about smiling in the happy sense no matter what, that makes little sense. If anything, you might piss people off.
Oh hai guys. I’m here to grin at this baby’s funeral.
You were diagnosed with cancer? Better smile.
