Dating back as far as time can tell, mankind has left its mark on the earth one way or another. With these markings came different cultures, practices, likenesses between groups... Even the conflicts, though there was always one that stood out from most. This mark was special as it varied by species rather than being tied to one in particular. Take the primates for example, this single mark can make or break any within their hierarchy at any given time. This mark is special, special because it's none other than a smile.
Smile; form one's features into a pleased, kind, or amused expression, typically with the corners of the mouth turned up and the front teeth exposed.
The story presented here today is one of struggle, it's a journey, a burden, and a blessing. Though you must keep your chin up, and most importantly, never forget to keep smiling.
