The eyes are the windows of the soul. Some say that if you want to know if there's a difference between what one is saying and what he or she really feels, we only need to look in his or eyes. You may chose to lie but your eyes will give you away.
I am afraid to look at people in the eyes for they may see what's inside. I have always been an open book and it's only now that I have been seriously considering how big a liability this nature has been. It has dawned upon me that the irresistible urge to speak up and practice the right to speech has brought more disaster than good. Hard as it is for me, and not that I am unwilling, the consequence of letting people know how I am and what I feel terrifies me for the first time in my life. Using what their knowledge of me against me has hurt me more than the real cause of my pain. I guess it is only now that the consequence of my glibness has impacted on me so much.
