Laughter is a natural
phenomenon.
In fact your doctor
will encourage you to laugh and smile as much as possible because it is good
for your health, however laughter or a smile could equally mean tacit approval
just like a nod.
This is why it
must be controlled. Laughing or smiling sheepishly can be
irritating and even doing it at the wrong time and place can be viewed with
total disdain.
So when the Bible
tells you that there is time for everything under the sun it did not mince
words and was not playing to the gallery.
Talking about
laughter and smile as tacit approval. These days when incidences of rape
and taking advantage of young girls by mentally deranged young men and
dirty minded old men has become a recurring decimal, parents especially mothers
must be extra vigilant and must resist the temptation to smile or laugh at any
act which appears to show that anybody known or unknown is taking or about to
take advantage of their young ones.
How many times do you check your kid’s school
bag? Do you query them when you see a packet of biscuit which you did not buy
in that bag?
How many times do you assist them in their
home work and by so doing interact with them long enough to the point that they
are free to tell you who said what and who did what in School and at home
while you were away?
When you notice
a particular uncle has taken it upon himself to buy your kids biscuit and other
bag of rubbish unsolicited do you immediately call the fellow to order and warn
him to dump the unsolicited gesture or do you smile sheepishly or even pretend
not to have seen it?
Such unsolicited
gesture could be a prelude to acting a devilish script that can ruin that child
if not dictated.
Laugh and smile if and when you must, but
never be sheepish about it and never put up a façade in the midst of a
developing bad behavior that should be nipped in the bud, doing so is like
postponing the dooms day.
Shine Your Eyes
Always!
