“Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes”
— Arthur Schopenhauer
Simplified Meaning:
When someone constantly has negative or harmful thoughts and puts their energy into bad actions, it starts to show in their appearance, especially in their eyes. For example, imagine someone who is always angry, lying, or doing things to hurt others. Over time, their face might begin to look harsh or unfriendly, and their eyes might seem cold or unkind. This happens because our expressions and the way we look to others are influenced by what we think and do. Just like how a happy person often has a smiling face and bright eyes, a person filled with negative thoughts and bad actions will start to show those traits outwardly. So it's important to focus on positive thoughts and good deeds, as it not only helps us feel better inside, but it also makes us look more approachable and kind to others.
