Two eyes, two ears, a nose and a mouth

We all have the same basic structure of a face, but what we do it with it is our own decision. It is one of the few body parts we could go through life without ever seeing (after all we only see it with the aid of water or a mirror).

How do you wear your face? Are you often with a smile or a frown? When you are smiling how do other people react? When you frown, do people join you in your sadness or attempt to turn the frown upside down?
There are people who say that frowning takes more muscle control than a smile. Yes, smiling is easier than frowning.

"Shammai says we should greet everyone cheerfully." (Pirkei Avot 1:15)
What do you think about this idea?

The way you wear your face shows who you are. If you typically have a smile on your face, someone can easily assume that you are a happy person. If you are always upset and your facial expression shows it, someone can definitely tell.

I always try to walk around with a smile on my face. I'm usually always in a good mood and I'm always laughing (ask anyone, I laugh 24/7). If you're having a rough day, sometimes all you really need is someone to smile at you. God gave us the power to smile for a reason (:

The way you show your face shows how you feel in the type of situation your in. For example: If someone makes a joke, you smile. If someone punches you, you frown. If someone emberasses you, you make an expression of emberassiment.
Ummm I really dont notice what type of expression i make on a regular day. I think im smiling. If i smile, or frown, sometimes people will join in with me.

i mostly agree with morgan but then again you cant always go by someones facial expression by the type of person they are becuase if someone always has a smile on their face it may be a fake smile and they might actually be depressed but only put on a smile so others dont realize that they re really depressed.

I think your facial expressions tell a lot about who you are. They can also affect your social life. If you walk around with a frown all day, you are not inviting people in, you are shutting them out by not knowing how to have fun, or even laugh.
