Closed eyes

Ever wondered if closed eyes signify anything... Yes they do. We usually have a tendency to close our eyes in a lot of varied circumstances. Fear, passion, fatigue or while trying to remember something. People say that some finest of feelings are best experienced with eyes closed. But why...

When we close our eyes it's absolute darkness, but then darkness is scary. So how can closing eyes be a relief or be good. May be the darkness is more comforting than the reality we see with open eyes, like in the case of fear. The other times we close eyes to get rid of the distracting surroundings which helps to focus on what we feel within; to dig deeper into our minds.

It's some what similar to shutting the doors of your room, when you just want to be with yourself. Closing eyes is like avoiding any trespassers to your mind which may ruin the moment.

But then some stories of closed eyes are really comic. A friend of mine has a weird habit. Whenever she is agitated, she starts muttering with closed eyes. We had really fun teasing her. Asking her to talk with open eyes. But poor girl.. she couldn't.

Then comes hubby dear. He comes home after a long tiring day and just wants to doze off. But I keep bugging him with my chitchat. So there he would be.. all sleepy and talking to me with closed eyes. Feels like he is blabbering in sleep but in actual he would be awake. It is a one funny scene coz I have never seen anyone chatting so long with their eyes closed.
