There was this part in a book about the Kennedys, which was written by a famous author, whose name I have forgotten ( Ben Bradlee just remembered).
Anyway, Jack Kennedy was said to have said that his younger brother had not learned how to smile sardonically.
People tend to notice that I don't smile enough to suit them, so they come at me with that criticism. I resent it, you know. But you have to learn how to deal with criticism. One way could be to learn how to smile sardonically. Which means a fake smile, which I hate. But I don't like the criticism too, so I won't feel that I am violating that rule. I can smile sardonically. Like Teddy, I just don't know how to do it yet.
Then I thought of this deleted scene from the Terminator flick with Arnold Schartzenegger. The Terminator doesn't smile enough, so John tells him to smile more. Now, this is a sardonic smile.
