Hyponitized

I've always asked myself why we are so much attracted by beautiful eyes and even more why we consider some eyes as beautiful.

There are certain aspects of our perception and behaviors that are considered a side effect of others. For instance it's not always possible to say if we, as animals or human beings, could have a certain property in our brain without the other side of the medal. One of the examples is sensitivity and intelligence. There are many others in the literature of cognitive sciences.

When I'm in front of one of these questions I usually get to the question "what might be the evolutionary reason or history of this character?".

We are attracted by the eyes because it's a huge mean of communication since our early natural path. Dogs, cats, horses use them. Many animals have shapes and color on their hair and body to fake eyes. Some animals hypnotize prays through them.

So the question is not why we are interesed in eyes. But why we consider some of them as beautiful.

What if our brain was stimulated just the same way as when we see a beautiful flower? Is it a matter of mixture of colors?

But then: would then this mixture be considered true for the whole humanity? Do swedish people prefer light blue eyes that are so common in their country? Or do they prefer dark eyes that are more rare?

Probably there's no reason for all of this, as "reason" is something only human, so untill we know more about it, we can go on ejoying beauty without too many questions. Maybe.
