Masked Society

Have you ever wondered why people put on artificial smiles? Walking down the streets, one can't help but notice how almost everyone around us seems to have the perfect smile plastered on their faces. But, is it genuine? Or are these just artificial smiles masking the true emotions lurking beneath? Buckle up folks, as we delve into the world of "Every day I saw people with artificial smiles".

Every morning, I would wake up and step outside my cosy, warm home to the world buzzing with activity. Staring back at me from all directions were people donning artificial smiles, as fake as the morning fog.

How is it possible for everyone to be effervescent all the time? Do they not feel any pain, or sadness or any other human emotion that usually mars the happiness?

Well, going by what I have observed, people usually adopt fake smiles as a defensive mechanism, to safeguard their emotions. It has become a societal norm to hide behind these faux expressions, concealing the turmoil of feelings that brew within us. The apparent happiness is more like an illusion, a facade masking the reality of life.

Isn't it ironic that living authentically has become the toughest task?

The consequences of habitual artificial smiles aren't confined to the individual alone. It perpetuates a dangerous societal trend where everyone is expected to showcase a picture-perfect happiness, leading to a vicious cycle of emotional suppression. This could potentially amplify feelings of loneliness and isolation as people fear exposing their true emotions.

Shouldn't we strive for a society that accepts us with our imperfections, where expressing emotions is encouraged?

Finally, every day, when I see people with artificial smiles, I can't help but ponder about the extent to which our society has shifted from authenticity. False smiles may be easy to put on, but they come with an emotional cost that is too high. By expressing our genuine emotions, we pave the way for healthier interactions and a truer society. Isn't it time we drop the masks and embrace our true selves?

Enter the world of artificial smiles, as we explore why people opt for them and the implications it holds on our society. Let's strive for a world where authenticity trumps pretence.
