EYES - Interesting Facts, Idioms

It is said that EYES are the window (or the gateway) to the soul. We can see in them love, hatred, happiness, disappointment and many many other feelings. Our eyes can reflect emotions hidden inside of us hence sometimes one look into someone's eyes can say more than one hundred words.We were given sight to be able to explore the beauty of this world and to enjoy our life on the maximum. We take it as something common what is the part of our everyday life. Anyway, how does it feel to be blind? Here in Prague the capital of the Czech republic we have Café and it is called: "After Dark". This project is organized by the foundation, which helps blind people and all earned money go for them. The customers can order coffee, served by blind people, can try how it feels to stay in the darkness. Here the roles are swapped since the blind people help others with the orientation and the mobility skills. In fact in such place healthy people are dependant on those who have to live in the dark and this is what I like about it.There are so many interesting facts about the sight so let me share some of them here with you and if you want to read more, check this website, which was my source: https://www.vsp.com/eyes.htmlNewborns don’t produce tears.

  • I have to consider myself a half-blind because I can't see much if I don't have my glasses. It's really make me appreciate my eyes more. 

    It's interesting to read the personalities/characters based on the colours of the eyes.

    Just to add : beauty is in the eye of the beholder - that which one person finds beautiful or admirable may not appeal to another.

    Observation (since you put the tag correction)

    Your sentence : "it is also related to the climax they live in". I think you meant "it is also related to the climate they live in"
