Fifty Shades of Smile

They say smile can speak thousands of words. But what if you can't even fathom it to be a smile or not?

Mona Lisa, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, had been very famous for its enigmatic smile, a smile that can be first discerned as one, then later becomes sardonic. It all depends on which part of the eye sees it first, experts believe. Science says that it depends on what cells in the retina pick up the image and what channel the image is transmitted through in the brain.Sometimes one channel wins over the other, and you see the smile, sometimes others take over and you do not see the smile.

It's kind of creepy for me, the smile, to be honest. Because when I started to look  at her, she was really smiling a happy smile then when I tried to look at her from the left of her lip she was serious then it turned to a grin. I believe Leonardo didn't intend to do this thing but people tried to stir it up then we were all brain washed about the fact they gave to us, that Mona Lisa wasn't smiling at all, which I guess wasn't true for Leonardo's opinion. Or i don't really know.

Above it all, whether she was grinning or not, we can agree to a fact that Mona Lisa is a really beautiful work of art and it deserves the critical acclimation of people worldwide. It may not be for her smile nor for its cost, but of course its beauty and grandeur.

Say what you mean

Tell me I’m right

And let the sun rain down on me

Give me a sign

I want to believe

Woah, Mona Lisa,

You’re guaranteed to run this town

Woah, Mona Lisa,

I’d pay to see you frown
