Looking in to Person's Eyes

Michael Carson


    It is not often that you look directly in to somebody else's eyes for an extended period of time. When maintaining eye contact is is difficult to focus on anything else in the surrounding area. Even the facial features of the person you are looking at become blurred. Although being several feet apart, looking in to somebodies eyes makes you feel closer in distance to the person. The middle ground between the two people becomes almost non existent. The sounds of other talk and noises become undefined. I think it is easier to look in to someone's eyes who you don't know because there is not much to think about the person. When looking at someone you know there can be many thoughts and images of that person, but when you don't know the person there aren't many concluding thoughts, just questions.
