Have you noticed when somebody just smiles at you how it instantaneously makes you feel better? And it also makes them feel better. If I walk down the street and I see somebody who is tired and upset—it's cold and gray here in Denmark right now—and you just kind of smile at them, immediately you can kind of see that their demeanor changes. And for you yourself, it also kind of warms you up in a way. I thought about that traveling home from my. Summerhouse today on the train. Again, summer is kind of ironic because it's ice cold here, but smiling to random strangers without it being weird is something that makes you feel better and it makes them feel better.
