I don't really know if this aligns well with the principle of Love. I look at people into their eyes but am afraid I will get beaten up(you know, afraid with courage). |EDIT: I don't think being afraid of being beaten up is unaligned with Love.|
Where do I draw the line when looking people into their eyes? I know it's a very vague question but it's hard to concentrate right now(which is also an excuse). |
Yes, it's a vague question, but I'll answer it anyway
Do you mean looking people in the eye when you talk to them? Or when you just pass them on the street ?
I make a point of looking people in the eye when I address them or they address me. I've noticed that sometimes people don't even look at for example, cashiers, beggars etc. I always try to acknowledge the person in front of me.
However, I've also noticed that some people feel uncomfortable if you maintain eye contact all the time while talking to them, then I try to avert my gaze from time to time.
Could you give us a more specific example/situation in which you feel like this?
