I agree with the old adage "the eyes are the window to the soul," so I often spend several minutes of deep reflection just staring into my own eyes. I can't explain why, but it helps me understand who I am. I also like looking at myself from that perspective to see myself as others see me. It helps me try to gain a third-person perspective about myself. Plus, I admit that I am also a little vain.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
