There once was an old man who lived by himself in the city. His wife had died a few years earlier and he had no family to speak of.One day ....they found his body in the local river, he had killed himself. Inside his pocket, they found a note that he had written the day he died...in it he wrote: " I have decided to end it all, living by myself is too much to bare, even in this big city , I am all alone. No one notices me or cares about me. While on my way to the river , if I can get just 1 person to smile at me or even just say HI, I wont kill myself !"

Well, you know the end of the story! Would you have "smiled" at the old man? Learn from this story and dont be afraid to smile at each other!!

For some dudes, if you're walking down the street and smile at his girl, he'll pop a cap in your ass.

yes, we live in a very unfriendly society, where a friendly smile can put you in danger. i think what the guy should have done was conceal a pistol, and on his way to the bridge, smile at people. whoever scowled back would get a bullet between the eyes. that would be more useful for the rest of us. think of the wave of politeness an event like that would stir up? we could probably turn it all around and have the most hospitable culture on the planet, at the superficial cost of the lives of a few assholes.

That's sounds reasonable, but according to his mission, he would now be on death row if someone saw the bloodshed and smiled back in self-defense.

that is why at least one other person would have to do it. this way, the probability of there being more would be obvious. given that constant threat, the politeness toward strangers would probably be so great that it would boarder on annoyance
