"¿Por qué cerramos los ojos cuando oramos, lloramos, besamos o soñamos? Porque las cosas más bellas de la vida no se ven sino que se sienten con el corazón."
— Pablo Neruda
Simplified Meaning:
When we close our eyes during special moments, it helps us focus on our feelings rather than what we can see. For example, when you pray, you shut your eyes to concentrate on your thoughts and emotions without distractions. The same happens when you cry or kiss; your closed eyes let you fully experience the connection and emotions of the moment. Dreaming with eyes shut helps your mind picture beautiful scenarios without needing to see them. This idea suggests that true beauty and deep feelings are not always about physical appearances but about the emotions and connections we feel inside. Applying this to everyday life, it teaches us to value and trust our feelings more, realizing that the heart often perceives things that the eyes cannot see.
