Eye Are Windows To The Soul

harder & harder

When was the last time that we were able to lool someone straight in the eye? Perhaps this is not such a strange question we know. For many people these days it is quite difficult if not impossible to look into the eyes of someone when we are speaking to them. Why is this? Well it is often said that the eyes are windows to the soul and no matter how hard we try, whatever we are experiencing inside will in some way be reflected in our eyes. If we are pretending to be sweet and polite to someone but in our mind we hate being in their company, then our eyes will reveal that hatred. If there is deep love for someone that too will be seen in our glance. For centuries it has been known that the eyes contain many of a person's secrets. People may not be able to read our mind, but there are many who can read our eyes.

Perhaps this is why we are reluctant to trust someone who is shifty-eyed, someone whose eyes are jumping from one place to another while they talk to us. We sense that either they have something to hide or they are not telling the truth.

On the other hand when someone is being on the level they will look we straight in the face without fear or uncertainty and tell us like it is. One wonders if the craze for wearing sunshades is not just a way of hiding what the eyes have to say.

If the eyes are windows to the soul, do we keep our eyes clean? Dirty eyes indicate that we have something to hide
