Hello.
I choose -1.. for the reason that I have always paid, and continue to pay, attention to a person’s eyes. A long time ago, I was visiting someone. A girl came into the kitchen and read a book aloud, and her mother watched her. At that moment, I was looking at the mother, because her eyes and face had transformed completely. It was very surprising to me, because her eyes radiated so much love, tenderness, joy, and a kind of peace—and this continued for quite a long time. As soon as she shifted her gaze to someone else, it somehow disappeared. Later, I observed this loving gaze many times in mothers when they look at their children.
There is also the opposite kind of gaze. For example, at an airport, I approached the passport-control window, and the officer looked at me in such a way that fear ran through my entire body. Even after I walked away, the fear still did not leave me. For the rest of the time before my flight, I thought about what had happened and reasoned that he probably did some kind of exercises to develop such a piercing gaze.
And in only a few people in my entire life, I have seen eyes that matched the expression “wise eyes.” In the eyes of these people, I saw wisdom itself. And I understood that there was an intelligent person in front of me.
There are also simply unnaturally beautiful eyes. I have seen bright lime-green eyes only once in my life, and that wasShe was already an elderly woman. But I simply couldn’t tear my gaze away from her eyes... they fascinated me so much... and I couldn’t understand how an old woman could have retained such an unreal eye color into old age. There was no sign of age in those eyes, somehow...

Day 2. I practiced during a walk. The people I met seemed very beautiful; a couple of times, I even seemed to sense the feelings of others. A girl was walking and worrying about her figure, but she seemed beautiful to me! The trees were incredibly beautiful too. Interestingly, when I looked at someone’s car, I could sense how much its owner loved it. I really enjoyed this practice! Thank you!

I choose 2; the topic is interesting, but I haven’t even had time to read everything yet.)

1. I want to continue.
This practice helps stop the hustle and anxiety. On the one hand, the “gaze of love” is possible only in a calm state; on the other hand, this practice itself leads to inner calm and peace.
