Oh ok, I see what you're saying.Tha Killer wrote: »Damn I ain't see this 'til just now. I meant distant and blank in the sense that they're like deaf people who speak. Without a template to emulate, and since they can't hear their own voice or the voices of others, they sound like an autistic Mike Tyson since they're unaware of the nuances of speech. Such as pitch, tone, depth, etc... So I'd imagine that a blind person's soul be distant since their eyes are always out of focus (they only stare off into the distance) so you can't understand their intent just by seeing into their eyes (ie, their soul is distant because it's impossible to see through it). Nah mean?
Like deaf speech is an attempt to communicate verbally without one of the most important parts of verbal communication (hearing), reading a blind person's intentions through their ? expressions/eyes is a form of non-verbal communication (NVC, if you will) lacking one of THE most important parts of NVC.
And yes, I'd imagine their soul is blank in the sense it's "missing" something vital to what makes us human. A lot of who we are as people is dictated by what we see/hear or HAVE seen/heard. So someone with an impairment like that might just have an "incomplete" soul. I'm prolly wrong about that tho. ? changes his mind more than skrippas change they drawls.Hyde Parke wrote: »you all are putting to much thought into this..If "the eyes are the window to the soul', that doesnt make a blind person soulless, it just means they have tinted windows.
Of course it doesn't make them soulless, but it doesn't lessen my wonder about why just bcuz they can't see out their eyes that you can't see anything in their eyes. -

Technically yes, but I have the option to say I can't see ? in their eyes even though I have the ability to see, they however can't. -

i suppose, but check this out, you cant "technically" see a persons soul when you use your sight to look into someone's eyes, you are using one of your many senses to make that determination
of what type/kind of soul they possess. Blind people use their other senses to do the same..And being that they dont have the sense of sight, their other senses are heightened. -

Yes I understand all that, but it still doesn't lessen my wonder about why you can't see anything in their eyes just bcuz they're blind. -

Because if they can't see you, you can't see them.
Maybe that's the case, I dunno.... -
That's an interesting take on itBecause if they can't see you, you can't see them.

Blind people prolly have more soul than everybody in this thread combined.....

if you understand all of that, then what exactly are you looking for in their eyes? -

Their individual form of expression.
Edit: that's the best way I can put it, the "thing" seen in eyes is not an easy "thing" to describe. -
That was unexpected
