Internal Light: Essay

 

Internal Light

There are some people who have sun inside them. It is hard to explain. Their presence highlights the room, brightens the day. It is not only their beautiful smiles. They are internal beings that shed light and make feel like the sun. It is their calm energy and their inner peace; and these people do not wait for anything back in return. It could be the inner sun-in radiant smile. Never hide your magic! And by the way, men are literary get crazy for a smiling confident woman.

After all, the smile of Mona Lisa continues to linger and takes over our hearts in modern life. Few works of art have captured the imagination of the world like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Painted in the early 16th century, this portrait of Lisa Gherardini—better known simply as the Mona Lisa—has become an icon of art history. Beyond its technical brilliance and mysterious atmosphere, one feature continues to puzzle viewers: her smile. Some researchers suggest the smile represents a mixture of happiness and sadness, demonstrating how human emotions are rarely one-dimensional. Her smile symbolizes not only the woman’s personality but also the complexity of human perception itself. Writers and artists have used her smile as a metaphor for hidden meanings in politics, love, and philosophy.

Why has the smile become a symbol in popular culture? Because of its mystery, adaptability, and universal appeal, it has become a metaphor for enigma and beauty across art, literature, and media. Children are innocent messengers on Earth that bring pure joy, and their smiles warm up the hearts not only of their parents, grandparents but even strangers who did not lose the complexity of human perception on a smile of a child.

Sometimes, the heart cannot

Take in the aggravation,

And then you cry.

You let it go for meditation.

Smile after you cry.

Smile instead of cry.

People will wonder

What you have been up to and why.

(Tomshinsky, 2024)
