Thich Nhat Hanh Analysis
When he first begins his book Thich Nhat Hanh talks about how it is important to not let suffering take control of us as people. That we should focus other important things in life which are the good things like beauty and pleasant moments. He explains how a smile has the power to impact people. He states: If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work (5). So what Hanh is saying is that by smiling you can impact others from your good mood. He previous mentioned how if one meditates it is important for them to smile as it is a necessary. We can see how important this is because just from smiling alone can make a person feel much better
