When you look into the eyes of someone you are about to speak to, ensure you see yourself. I think that that is the purpose of eye contact. That you might look so deeply, so strongly and with such focus that you see yourself. You see a reflection of you and you are able to pour about natural feelings towards yourself to someone else. You are able to love your neighbour as yourself.
I detested eye contact. I still don't particularly enjoy it all the time. At some point , I felt like when people looked me in the eye, they could easily see my pain, worries or honest concerns (if I had any at the time). Now, I have found that I grow a bit more weary as I find the truth easier to discern when looking into someone's eyes.
Eye contact was creepy. (simply put)
A profound connection, enabling you to understand far too much from something so very simple.
The eyes are the window to the soul.
I can't quite emphasize how important it is to guard your eyes, for the things you see can scar you for years and sometimes forever.It can affect how you process. What goes past your eyes, goes to your mind and what goes to your mind can settle in and create thoughts. Your thoughts can mature and be predominant in nature. Your thoughts can then be considered your treasure, and where your treasure is, there your heart shall be also. If I know what matters to you and what holds you together, I also know, how to take you apart. What goes into the eyes, affects what comes out. It may change how you see the world and that is not always for the better.
Anyway & Onwards.
Our eyes are one of our sensory organs.We were given senses for protection. Senses to protect ourselves from people and to protect people from us. The five basic senses protect us primarily from people and element that could harm us. Our intuitive senses protect us from harm as well but it also guards other people- that we have at times, a faint sense of what we should and shouldn't do and its implications on us and other people.
I am an open and natural conversationalist however I have chosen at this time to go by these rules.
LESS WORDS. MORE POSITIVE WORDS.
I have realized that the more words we use, the easier it is for negativity to sneak in. The less control and focus we exercise on saying the right thing, about ourselves or other people.
For example. I receive a compliment about my eyes. I could go on to say, "really, you think so?Gosh, I barely got any sleep last night, I hate these bags, I didn't even apply any make up.." and the list goes on as we assume that we're being patronized when life could go like this.

Response: *blush*, thank you.
Dr. Wayne Dyer said in one of his videos,
( this is me now)so where as our words may not fall out of our mouths, form into stones and hit someone in the face, they do manifest, straight past the flesh and hurt persons in ways we cannot always see or understand.
We can only control ourselves and how we respond to other people. We only have our receptors assisting our processes, not that of other people.
But in all we do and in all we say, we should see ourselves in other people and react in that way, considering that we esteem ourselves highly,
If I were you, and you were me, is that how I would want you to treat me?
Problems solves themselves after that point.
OR we could always opt for the classic and more perfect introspective question of WWJD?
What would Jesus do?
It all boils down to the same thing and we are guided by the laws of love, Love for God and each other.
So, if you haven't seen yourself in someone else, you haven't been doing so great a job.
I have some work to do. Perhaps your have some work to do also, on your eye contact and empathy. Always keep it in your back pocket, "WWJD?"
We may not be perfect but nothing beats a try.
-Just saying it how I see it.
