Are the eyes really the window to the soul?

August 28, 2009 12:52pm CST
People say this a lot, but why? Why are the eyes the windows to the soul? Don't get me wrong,a beautiful pair of eyes is the most important thing in a woman to me. But they also say the eyes never lie, but they do, they lie all the time! Do you think the eyes are the window to the soul? Or they are just pretty things that you see out of?

I think it's true. We can practically read others' mind just from starring on their eyes. Whether someone is telling a truth or lie, we can catch it from his/her eyes straightly. There's an old saying that eyes are window of the soul. I think that is because eyes is believed that can't lie. Actually this old saying is true. We all can try to validating this old saying whether it's really true or not. I believe everyone has minimum one time in his/her life trying to lie someone, perhaps our parents, or our teacher, or else, and on that situation, our eyes can't look at them straightly because we thought that if our eyes getting caught by them, they will find the truth. So, you need to be a hollywood superstar if you want to keep your lies behind your eyes. Practically it's a hard thing. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

The problem is not about lie. But it's about truth and sincerity. Those things can be traced from the eyes. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

well said, but some people can ONLY look people in the eye if they are lying!

Don't get me wrong, but i think it is more of a figure of speech. It is not pertaining to the eyes "perse" but more on the responds in the persons eyes. It is like how a person looks at you; does he/she looks at you with glee, or as if you are naked. things like that. You can judge or understand the persons intentions and motives by the way they look and the way they respond.

I know what you mean, but think about it, when some people cry, they don't mean it, so that's lying!

but look again in their eyes, you'll see if they mean it or not.
