Discussing

 How to discuss serious, maybe even very serious and important things without becoming a propagandist bore - that is of course one of the great questions man has slaved over. I don’t know, maybe you could try keeping a smile on your face while doing the discussing - that might keep things from getting too heavy. But would it work? Doubtful, you’d probably end up just feeling ashamed of yourself, though then again who knows, you might find, even amidst all the shame, you’ve endeared yourself to millions with all the smiling. “He has such important things to say, but more importantly he knows how to smile.” On the other hand I suppose you could resort to never smiling, maybe it doesn’t suit your face, and that to the right people might be endearing also. And who knows, if you’re versatile you could even try mixing it up - the smiling and the not-smiling. “He is so versatile. I love how he mixes it up. He is a true master.”
