Our culture

  • Beaming with pleasure: children on Christmas day, a proud parent watching a child perform well, "the look of love."
  • "Women aglow."
  • Halos.
  • New age religion: auras. (Just a parallel, not something I affirm.)
  • Beatific vision.
"Smile," Lyrics by Parker and Watson
Sung by Nat King Cole, Judy Garland, Michael Buble ...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile.
