Some view the pseudo-science of physiognomy as extremely shallow, others view it as invariably exact -- I view it somewhere in between, but nevertheless find its study incredibly intriguing. For those who don’t know, the study of physiognomy revolves around deducing inner-personal character from one’s own facial features. Yes, judging someone by how they look. My grandfather actually introduced me to this subject and he always says “You can never trust the most handsome man” - make sense? So, it’s not necessarily a super shallow subject, but definitely a questionable one when we were taught since we were little that we should never, as they say, judge a book by its cover.
Well, do you believe in the saying “eyes are the window to the soul?” This is physiognomy. The shape, the color, and even their placement on the face supposedly indicate so much about someone’s persona. Well, what do you think? Do you think physiognomy is a credible science or just some silly, childish course of study??
