perspective redux

studying the eyes of those around me, i see so much. i see pain, sadness, disbelief, wonderment, disinterest in some; in other eyes i see joy, hope, love, sweetness and beauty. the stark or gentle glance of an eye will run the gamut of emotions, reflecting what is hidden in the heart. i may see someone smiling, yet if their eyes don't twinkle with the same happiness i am clued into the dischord between the truth and portrayal that lies inside. ask me how i'm doing and 90 percent of the time i'll say "good". nice little answer, right? look into my eyes. i may not be doing as well as "good " implies. am i actually looking at you? am i averting my gaze? is my lazy eye drifting? the clues are found in the little details you catch. details become everything when you are trying to develop perspective. perspective creates the opinons and views that you hold dear. and the opions and views you have, you will project in some fashion to the world at large. it's been said that the eyes are a window into the soul. how true is that saying?
