I smiled back and I thoughthow incredible that was, that they would find the time to smile. There was goodness in the world still, even if you couldn’t always see it.

About This Quote

After seeing a picture of a person smiling and thinking, “How incredible that is,� the first reaction we typically have is to smile back and send a thought or two to the person. When we do this, we usually don’t dwell on the fact that the person actually had to find the time to smile. The world can be a very cruel place and it can be difficult to find the good in everything you see.
