13. No doubt. Even abused children smile now and then. Why do they? I'll tell you why

Because even slaves smiled now and then, even people in concentration camps managed now and then to eek out a smile, because even kidnapped victims have been shown to smile now and then, because humans retain onto death the capacity to separate their lips and show their teeth.

That's why.

A smile or a grin does not indicate that the person has rights, that she is allowed to run her life as she pleases, or that she has self-determination.
