Why eyes are the window to our souls?

Question

So, physically eyes are for seeing things, but why are they said also to trasmit emotions? How is that possible?

Answer 1

i think eyes are just as any part of body. it gives out your DNA design. people with high testosterone (aggressive, able type) will have eyes of those sorts with thick eye browses; a masculine feature.

Answer 2

People tend to look you in the eye if they mean something and look away if they don't.

Answer 3

I guess it all comes from body language - if you're lying you tend not to look someone in the eye, if you don't know someone you're not going to look them in the eye.

But if you know someone well then you're more likely to look into someone eyes and if you really care about someone, love them, then you might stare deeply into their eyes and from that you can see them a lot deeper - I guess eye contact makes you vulnerable.

Answer 4

We use our eyes for expression - you can tell if someone is sad or glad or mad by looking in their eyes (not to sound like Dr. Seuss).

I believe it is because it is our eyes that we use to take in information about our world the most (unless you are blind) and therefore it is only natural that we would use them to also project information back out into the world.

Answer 5

Because you can usually be able to tell if a person is good or evil by looking into the eyes. The sincerity of a person, if they are lying, if they are ashamed. You can tell most emotions and feelings by lookinng into someones eyes.
