  • Studies suggest it takes four minutes of direct eye contact for strangers to fall in love. So we decided to conduct a simple experiment: refugees and Europeans sat across from each other and looked each other in the eyes. People from different continents who have literally never set eyes on each other before come away feeling an amazing connections.

    I think the reason why we look away at each other is because we're ashamed of our sins. I think this is how we're suppose to be. I loved it so much

      The camera doesn't show what the other man was doing so we don't have the 'full picture.' This man may have been responding to a sudden sadness in the other person...or something within himself that he was connecting with..It would be interesting for each of the men to respond to what was happening for them at that moment...

    We do this regularly in an amazing transformative system called Biodanza, which also uses music and dance. Eye connection connects us at Soul level, which is why tears arise sometimes. May All Beings be Joyful

    When i talk to girls i tend to stare at their eyes, they usually turn their eyes away embarrassed. I am socially different then most people and i don't feel embarrassed doing that, but i am very embarrassed talking about my self

      I love people who do that ! I tend to casually stare into people's eyes and also noticed that sometimes they look away like 'wtf is going on ?' 😂
      I'm in love with all those expressions of life. It has a power and a beauty that words connot touch.
