In the eyes I see

Nov 12, 2010 01:35

Long ago I remember my secondary school teacher tell my class that teenagers have a hard time looking people in the eyes. For many years after that day I remember how rarely I look people in the eyes. Perhaps the only person I really looked in the eyes during my young adulthood was Annie. Even when I was in Japan I never truely looked Chi in the eye.

Yet events after that fateful day with Chi, and my friend passing away. self sorrow brought me to look somewhere I didn't, people's eyes. Before Uni I had an unusual knack to know what people were thinking just by watching for subtile body signs. But I found through adulthood people learn to mask these, only in the past year have I found that its harder except for protessional actors that the eyes don't lie.

Yet  I found looking people in the eye I can see how happy people are, if on a spiritual level rather than an emotional level. I know it sounds odd, but its like a feeling and instinct you see in the eyes. It will take me time before I can decipher much of the information I get from seeing peoples eyes. though I do find gazing at people can make others self conscious and that is hard to avoid.

Though I wonder much about the feelings or instincts I pick up from eye movement

Yet it is hard to distinguish instict from what my mind is telling me logically.
