Now and then one sees a face which has kept its smile pure and undefiled. it is a woman's face usually; often a face which has trace of great sorrow all over it, till the smile breaks. such a smile transfigures: such a smile, if the artful but knew it, is the greatest weapon a face can have.

Now And Then One Sees A Face

Helen Hunt

Now and then one sees a face which has kept its smile pure and undefiled. it is a woman's face usually; often a face which has trace of great sorrow all over it, till the smile breaks. such a smile transfigures: such a smile, if the artful but knew it, is the greatest weapon a face can have.

Sorrow Weapons Faces

More From Helen Hunt

Now and then one sees a face which has kept its smile pure and undefiled. such a smile transfigures; such a smile, if the artful but know it, is the greatest weapon a face can have.

Recently, one friend asked me, "how can i force myself to smile when i am filled with sorrow? it isn't natural." i told her she must be able to smile to her sorrow, because we are more than our sorrow. a human being is like a television set with millions of channels. if we turn the buddha on, we are the buddha. if we turn sorrow on then we are sorrow. if we turn a smile on, we really are the smile. we can not let just one channel dominate us. we have the seed of everything in us, and we have to seize the situation in our hand, to recover our own sovereignty.

Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction. poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. hunger is a weapon of mass destruction. poor health care is a weapon of mass destruction. poor education is a weapon of mass destruction. discrimination is a weapon of mass destruction. let us abolish such weapons of mass destruction here at home.

Please don't wait until the doctors tell you that you are going to have a baby to begin to take care of it. it is already there. whatever you are, whatever you do, your baby will get it. anything you eat, any worries that are on your mind will be for him or her. can you tell me that you cannot smile? think of the baby, and smile for him, for her, for the future generations. please don't tell me that a smile and your sorrow just don't go together. it's your sorrow, but what about your baby? it's not his sorrow, its not her sorrow.

Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction, homelessness, a weapon of mass destruction... racism, a weapon of mass destruction, fear, a weapon of mass destruction. we must disarm these weapons and renew our commitment to quality public schools and dedicated teachers and good housing and quality health care and decent jobs and stronger neighborhoods.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
