mirror of soul

Well, I've always heard this statement: "The eyes are the mirror of the soul." In my opinion though, I'd have to argue, as others can see from my eyes, my inner state. Me personally, I do not need to look at my eyes in the mirror to see how is my "soul", as the feelings I feel, I already know it by myself.

Eyes are really the mirror to our soul. So I can see someone's emotions through that. I definitely understand your situation about this topic. Sometimes we feel sorrow and sad and hapiness. We can tell through one's outlook and make our life more understanding. Thanks friends and sharing this with dear mylotters.

Yes they say the eyes are the mirror of the soul but if so.. how come so less people know eachother? Or know/feel what is really going on with you? I think it is because most people are way too bussy with themselves, their own feelings and also most people don't look eachother in the eyes anymore. If they ask: how do you do, it's just a kind of "hi". They don't want you to answer since they are way too afraid to hear you are not doing well. So we learned to say: I am fine (which in many cases is a lie) and we pass by. But even if we don't have eyes, if our eyes are closed it's possible to know/feel how the other person is doing. Since the soul is always present, not just by the eyes. You can feel in the atmosphere, if you are near someone, if that person is crying, angry, been angry or been sad... this is not only something sensitive people know or feel, it's something we all can. But most of us shut others out because we already have plenty of problems ourselves or no answer to the questions the other one might have.
