Comments by "justgivemethetruth" (@justgivemethetruth) on "The hidden power of smiling | Ron Gutman" video.
I'm trying to smile,but this seems like those phony positive things that there is just no upside in disagreeing with because even though it is a bunch of nonsense (not all of it but just the idea that if you smile falsely you will live longer) that you cannot even talk about. Argh ... like Barbara Ehrenreich's book "Bright-sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America" ... the foolish use of these ideas is actually oppressive, making it harder to smile.

Nothing like seeing one of the Koch brothers smiling because they know they are going to live a long life with no real problems while being selfish and greedy to not share their bounty or even pay their taxes ... not the kind of smile that makes me happy.
