‘Human eyes are the sign language of the brain, if you watch them carefully, you can see the truth played out raw and unguarded’.
This quote by Tarryn Fisher suggest that our eyes can reveal the truth about what a person is truly thinking or feeling when we closely observe someone’s eye, we can potentially witness their genuine emotions and thoughts as the eyes are considered a window into the soul. They can convey messages that may not be expressed through words, allowing us to perceive the unfiltered and authentic aspects of a person’s inner world. By paying attention to someone’s eyes, we may gain insight into their true intention, emotions and thoughts.
