Have you ever looked your friend in the eye…That’s a question I had to ask myself recently…And I had to come to some type of honest conclusion…Which was: rarely do I face the eye of friend …It’s not that I make a conscious effort to avoid eye contact…it just systematically tends to work out that way…Strangers, no problem…No problem at all looking into the eye of a stranger...perhaps its because there's nothing at stake...it's simply an innocuous exchange...there's nothing really to build upon or severe because there was nothing there to begin with...
But with friends there’s something different…and I began to think…Why?
And I came to the deduction that maybe its healthier that way…maybe things flow smoother that way...maybe friends should never look each other in the eye…perhaps the foundation of "friendness" shouldn't be shaken...because once the eyes lock, the illusions built up could/can never be the same…Mutual facades are forced to wane and waver…and that’s just too much to endure…and Unless you’re willing to confront these mutual truths, perhaps it’s best that friends not look each other eye to eye…
It’s fair game to look towards, to look by, to even look through…but unless you’re ready to take on the responsibility of accepting truths you won’t understand…it’s maybe best that you keep the eye contact to a minimum…
