That smile is intended as one of sympathy and fellow-feeling. I know that badgering from within very well - it's pretty general across much of humankind, I guess, especially those who are trying to work on being better people and making a better world. It's a long haul learning to be measured and gentle with ourselves as well as with others. (and of course trying not to slip into the opposite error!)
