What's The Use Comments

I doubt that he is saying to smile when your child dies and I doubt he is saying to smile when your spouse breaks your heart by being untrue. That would be moronic at the least and psychotic at the most.. I think he must be referring to the lesser ills of mankind's life- -a really bad working relationship with the co-workers or the boss- - the car needs expensive repairs and there is no money- the dog ran away- -someone stole your truck- -oh, sorry, those are country western songs- -but Dunbar recommends a better life through smiling instead of weeping and frowning and snapping and moaning and groaning

A great poem with deep meaning and thought provoking capacity. Thanks for sharing it here.
