How often do you have that kind of smile, per week, per day, or per hour; the smile that starts when you see someone you love, you smile at that someone and that somenone returns your’ smile?, the Smile that can change a lot of things in your life, the smile that is in fact a mask of your feelings, a code that you will give , like a gift, to someone and who will return it because he understands that code and wants you to know that.

And everytime I would wonder, why bother with an answer? You described it perfectly. You don't see a boxer smiling while boxing. A baseball player smiling when batting or catching. A swimmer while swimming. A soccer player chasing a ball down. Or something more simplistic. I love reading. Am I going to be smiling the whole time I am reading? No, as you said, the smiles in all these activities and all activities happen after the exertion or effort is accomplished. Because of this I have read this "Why don't runners smile while running" and always roll my eyes. If other sports have athletes smiling while exerting, then good question. But since no other sport does this, why would it be a legitimate question for running? Good answer. If I were to be asked this question would have been my response.
