Is the face the mirror of the soul?

Surely it has happened to you at some point. Come across a face and feel a sudden mistrust, or on the contrary, experiencing, without knowing why, a pleasant serenity and well-being.

It is not necessary that they be more or less beautiful faces, they simply transmit something that goes beyond the basic senses of sight…. They are expressions that perhaps transmit to us the reflection of the person’s true being.. The soul of her.

Can this be possible?

Experts tell us that, in reality, people have a large collection of “faces”. What’s more, we dress in one depending on the circumstances. Being at home alone is not the same as being at a work meeting or at a dinner with your partner or family.

Our expressions change. The faces vary. So, are we people born liars capable of masking ourselves at every moment with a face? Absolutely.

When an age comes, Our face is going to be a reflection of a genetic predisposition and a personal component.. The one where the expressions will tend more towards what is most common in us: anger, anger, sadness, shyness, openness, serenity, sense of humor, etc.

Face, emotions and souls

There is a curious anecdote that tells us about how one day, Abraham Lincoln rejected a person just because “he didn’t like his face.”. One of his assistants reproached him, justifying that he was a prepared person who could contribute a lot to his personal office. He was 50 years old and was not new to those tasks. Also pointing out that “no one is responsible for his face.”

Whereupon, the president Lincoln responded that once you are over 40, we are all responsible for our face., and that man did not inspire confidence in him. Without further ado. Surprising as it may seem, when doctors and psychiatrists talk to us about morphopsychology, they maintain that Lincoln’s idea was totally true.

When one passes 40, our physiognomy has been molded according to the attitudes that have dominated our lives. A frown on our forehead implies concern. A mouth that tends downward is a reflection of a person who is not used to smiling….

When we look at a face we all usually gather information about it in a few seconds. Is he cheerful, does he have a serious and elusive air? Is he smiling or perhaps transmitting sadness? The face is usually the essence of the personand it is common for us to be guided by these sensations when it comes to feeling more or less close to some and not to others.
Obviously, there are those who hide their emotions very well.who usually wears a mask almost every day to hide what he truly is, like a kind of Dorian Gray capable of leaving his bad arts and darkness on a canvas.

An ancient discipline

A curious fact to keep in mind is that face reading has been practiced for thousands of years. It was in China, and before Confucius, when this discipline was, so to speak, a true profession. This was more than 2,500 years ago.

Even Pythagoras put it to use almost every day. It is said that the wise man chose his disciples based on his facial features, making an examination of the face and body in general. He even valued non-verbal communication, to make a justified value judgment about people.

Do you know, for example, what people give more importance to? To the eyes and the smile. A body may be deceiving us, some movements may show us closeness and kindness, but If the eyes do not seem sincere to us, we will distrust.

Maybe it is not the face, but the eyes that really convince us. They are the least given to lies and in them is where we reflect to feel comfortable or not, in front of a stranger.

But Still, it is worth being cautious and prudent.. We must not make the mistake of allowing ourselves to be influenced by first impressions and that almost instinctive need to judge people only by their face.

Remember that we ourselves are full of prejudices, and there is nothing more dangerous than seeing the world through those distorted prisms. So before you judge someone, It’s better that we start with ourselves…
