[via Gazeta Wyborcza]Since I have to work on the html side of the previous post what I just found I'm posting to a new entry. The former one is already lengthy.
You don't judge a book by its cover, but I love seeing a face next to a name. If a face can be misleading, a name alone, even more. I think you can tell much more from a face than most people are willing to admit they do. Eyes further tell a wealth of information. I know this from personal experience and from some so far very limited reading. The study of interpreting human eyes though, I'm leaving for when I'm 65 - or perhaps by then I won't need psychology books to explain it all to me.
Malcolm Gladwell in his Outliers explained at a level for people with little science understanding, how many muscles there are in human face, how different combination of contracting together different muscles reflect an emotion, and how the observer, often unaware, reads (and acts upon) this information flawlessly. So yes, I think a face is important to see. Not for aesthetic judgement, but for a complete appreciation of the personality. Although, a face seen live (or least recorded in movement), tells much more, than one frozen on a photograph, it is always a step closer to full appreciation. So here are the faces of the new Polish MEPs.
