Words and Notion

Observe, Don't just see

I can’t see my own face

by 89 Comments

We can see our face in a mirror or in a camera only. But never can see it actually.

It’s bugging me.  Everyone around has seen my face, but never I.

I can see only a little bit of my nose, lips, eyebrows, cheeks..

Damn.. It’s impossible to see my whole face until I have some eyes in my hands.. weird..

Dont you feel so?

    This is a huge coincidence. I had this very same thought yesterday! And innu ith vayichappol it was like glimpsing into my brain! (In case you’re wondering – njan inna ee post aadhyamayitt kaanunnath!)

    It is weird at times…the expression in our face.. The way we look when we get angry… The way we talk… These all things we miss!!
    Nicely expressed in this piece.

    If we had eyes in our hands may be we would be more conscious of our actions as our eyes would mirror the different shades of our soul, would it not Akhi?

    Haha. I like the perspective here. Reason why mirrors get all the footage! But I guess it is such to explain we need each other in life. For you to see me and me to see you. Maybe.

    Lot of inventions have helped us do so many things we cannot. I have never felt it this way. Like your way of thinking Akhila.

    Yes…also the fact that we aren’t aware of our actual voice. How we think our voice is quite different from how others perceive it.

    True.. but maybe it’s a blessing that we can’t .. especially for the likes of me.. How will I live after seeing my own ugliness…😎😁.. because we are quick to make our mind after looking at another face…

    You can see a “reflected” image of your face in a mirror, but to see the back of your head, now you need two mirrors, how about that? 🙂

        I don’t like my face, so I’ve always been thankful I can’t see it – then I can pretend/invent a face that I like. I think it’s actually a blessing we cannot see our faces the way others see them. If we want a kind looking face, I think we need to be and act kindly and then our face will change to match. Our faces are so expressive, especially the eyes, they should remain what I call “the mystery of me.”

    Hmm nice words but that is the reality of a human being and his life that is why a mirror is required.
