I don`t know what changed, but people don`t smile to each other anymore, especially on bus. Everyone is so self-defensive that nobody trust nobody and everyone is living in his own scary world like if you talk to others, they might rob you or something. It just makes me sad.
Anyway, yesterday, on a bus, an old man, really old, like at his 70s, stared at me with no reason. The bus was so crowded and I seem so little and helpless in there that somehow I caught his attention. And then, giving the circumstances and the good mood I was in, I did one thing that I barely do on a bus or to a stranger: I smiled. And then, surprisingly, he smiled back, with genuineness in his eyes, his teeth all out (missing some:D), just like my grandpa. I suddenly felt the warmth of his heart or mine and felt so happy which lasts for the rest of my whole day. I guess this is the magic of smile, can make people`s day easily.
