"He lay on his chair with his hands clasped above his paunch not reading, or sleeping, but basking like a creature gorged with existence."

In ancient China, the Taoists taught that a constant inner smile, a smile to oneself, insured health, happiness and longevity. Why? Smiling to yourself is like basking in love: you become your own best friend. Living with an inner smile is to live in harmony with yourself.
