Grimace or Smile

One might laugh and laugh all day long.
Creating the hormones that accompany our behaviors and feelings.
The thing is, sometimes grimacing takes a place in our realm of expressing ourselves.
While smiling is usually a fun and happy feeling, grimacing looks very much the same but is sometimes a sad and upset feeling.
The emotions and physical hormones that can be excreted by our endocrine organs and organelles to grimace or smile are quite different.
You can test this phenomenon by remembering a time when you put on a laughing grimace face as a coping mechanism to help get through a difficult situation.  What proteins did your hormones make in that moment?
Now compare that protein to a protein produced by hormones for a sincere, delightful laughing smile of joy.
Can you sense a difference?
Can you determine a favorite feeling among the possibilities?
You can program yourself to create the best you ever possible with the feelings you create inside, even by the behaviors, feelings, and faces you make.
Create hormones that best suit your best self-chosen personality.
Besides, it's your job to be the best you ever possible.

This is taken from a 2009 book, and I feel it informs the current conceptions about it "feeling good" to be upset... maybe it doesn't feel good.  Maybe feeling good is a different set of hormones, proteins and behaviors that deserve to be identified and differentiated.
