Smile Pretty for the Camera ...

I once read "If someone doesn't have a smile, give them yours." I read it somewhere a couple years ago, and I read it recently on my friends blog. He's a smart cookie.
When you think about it, a smile can change the world. For better or for worse. It is possible to trust anyone with a smile, because behind the shining white teeth you see someone who is confident, and happy in their skin. However, behind someone's smile they maybe hiding a horrible story about their life that could traumatize you. They could be lying to you. Or just being fake in general.
A smile is a great tool to show people, or make people believe that you are happy. But it is a devious tool. It tricks people into thinking that you are happy, it tricks the world into feeling comfort in you.
I don't know what I'm rambling on about. But I do have a question... How trustworthy are smiles? And should we be passing on the false hopes of our smiles to theirs?
