The cute face

For some reason we all have a strange need to make people laugh, so we crack a funny grin or make an odd face. It’s inherent in us and we don’t even know it, in our childlike ignorance our instinct tells us to test the other person to see if they are a threat. When we don’t receive the required smile or laugh all our shields go up… you know the line” I disarmed them with a smile”. The returned smile lets us know we are among allies, in some cultures the display of anger is so feared as to have the majority so worried it would rather cut the cancerous person away than to live with their unpredictable anger. So unless you want to be ostracised you need to laugh and smile in the most extreme moments , in our north American culture that would be perceived as extremely odd, therefore dangerous. So not all cute smiles are harmless and not all harmless smiles are cute…..
