the print of love

the best story book you can ever read is someone's face. but how often do you really look someone on the face and watch carefully every line, every movement and every frackle and the twitching of the mouth. do you ask what does the tiny detail mean?

maybe it is uneasy to always look at a person and it causes intense discomfort for both parties. alternatively, you would send out the wrong messages if you stare too long at a person from the opposite sex. in the context of the society currently, it is rude and intrusive if you watch a person without averting your eyes even once. it becomes an act of visual interrogation and definitely not welcomed.

face study is very interesting because literally, a person's life and behaviour are charted on the face if you know how to decode the secrets. the movement of face muscles are either voluntary or involutary. when one smiles on demand that is a voluntary movement of the face. however when someone smiles because of immense pleasure, the eyes curve a little more. this micro movement is involuntary and it is almost impossible to contract the muscles around the eyes in this way voluntarily. the movement on the face can be so small that you would probably miss it if you blink, but it is there. it is this tiny movement that speaks of the person's true character because these movements are the result of trying to hide one's intention.

this skill of face reading is exceptionally useful for police, lawyers, judges and virtually everyone. how do you know if someone is lying or is angry but hide it so well? film directors should learn this art and give proper directions to actors when shooting a scene.

perhaps one thing does lead to another. once you have learnt to decode facial expressions, the biggest fear is that the face is the exact print of the heart.

what is your print?
