I think it's part of a preprogrammed communication system we're born with. I mean, when a baby cries, sometimes you can't tell why, but you know it's upset, right? Nobody teaches babies to cry, they just do. It's the same way with smiling.
Of course, one must take into consideration that it works the other way, too-smiling releases happy chemicals in the brain, kind of like natural anti-depressants. Don't know if that tells you anything.

When we are happy,we also desire to look more handsome/more beautiful This is achieved the moment you smile.Yes. Keep smiling all the time and you will have lesser pain or sadness in life.

That's like why do we scream when we get shot in the arm or why do we frown and/or cry when we are sad. It's human nature. It's what makes us. When we show expressions like that. It's also a sort of communication, showing signs of how we are feeling.

Hi!!
We do all this things for the same reason that we cry when we hurt.
This is the way we react to our feelings or thoughts.
The same way when one is not thinking about anything specific, and has no expression on the face, because there is nothing, no thoughts, or action to react to it!
GOD bless you;

because that's the way it is.. we've got to smile when we are happy, cry when we're sad etc... how would it look if one laughs when he is hurt?
but there are some people in this world who enjoy pain - masochists...

because the smile will appear only when the heart is relaxing and when your sad you heart will be on pain so smile will not be there

because when you're happy, you feel energy to smile, but you wouldn't have the energy to smile if you feel pain or sad

Smiling can be forced but, the eyes tell true. It is an involuntary. action .

This is discussed in psychology, under James-Lange theory.
