Do we smile for no good reason? There's no reason why we are smiling because the smile comes from within us ... just simply that we are happy? What do you think? What is your interpretation of 'Smile for no reason?' Do we love without conditions? I believe that most time when we love, we have certain expectations from the love we love and when the expectations are not met ... situations and relationships turn sour. One of the greatest examples of unconditional love is definitely the love which parents shower their children; simple pure love of wishing the loved ones to be better. Do we act with purpose or are we simply conforming to the expectations the society and the people around us have on us? Are we listening more often to our hearts? And of course laughing often!

The woman apologized and explained, x80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb3;We didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have this green thing back in my earlier days.x80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb4; The young clerk responded, x80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb3;Thatx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;s our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations.x80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb4; She was right x80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb6; our generation didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have the green thing in its day. Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were truly recycled. But we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have the green thing back in our day. Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblingx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;s. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags. But too bad we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t do the green thing back then. We walked up stairs, because we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks. But she was right. We didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have the green thing in our day. Back then, we washed the babyx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;s diapers because we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts x80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb6; wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing. But that young lady is right; we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have the green thing back in our day. Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house x80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb6; not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity. But shex80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;s right; we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have the green thing back then. We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull. But we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have the green thing back then. Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint. But isnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didnx80;xa0;xa0;x92;xb2;t have the green thing back then? Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart-ass young person.
