face is the index of the mind

uhh, what a confusion i had since childhood - is face the index of the mind (or) is it 'appearances which are deceptive', oh my god and i learnt something new - 'seeing is believing'. once in class 8, i told my classmate - "i guarantee you they could not have done this, both of them make such a beautiful pair" and after a few days i heard the girl has eloped.

a class in psychology, the professor asked me - "so what do you interpret from this picture", i always disliked those eyes of the professor. She used to keep them wide open all the time and smile at intervals, ofcourse she was psychology teacher. i passed a sarcastic comment about the picture she showed us. Later i thought she would just mark me for being so rude and i will be having a miserable time completing the course none of which happened. she appreciated the mid-term project so much and i felt bad for having gone by the face again.

Probably understanding the body language that is why is so important because you can hide emotions, also hide words but its difficult to control your body. Thus, just seeing the face and making inferences sometimes doesn't tell you the whole story - infact tells the incorrect one and hence validating it with the movements of the body can help us make better judgements about the person.
