" As I look into her eyes, those sad eyes, I could not help but feel just as sad as her. In those eyes, I see uncertainty, confusion, and emotional tension. Even if she doesn't look me in the eyes for long, I still get that quick gust of innocence that I hardly ever see from her eyes. I cannot help but feel sorry for her. I cannot help but feel like I should do something to help her. I know there is nothing I can really do for her when she looks at me with those large sad eyes, except stare right back at her. My eyes connect with hers for a short while. Through that small moment of eye contact, I could feel my own soul reaching out for hers through our eyes; an invisible hand reaching out and slowly holding onto hers with the greatest of care. We just lay there, not moving or blinking, but just staring deep into each other's eyes, knowing that we are connecting without any words or physical contact. "

We try are best to help others near us with physical actions. But we can also help through mental and spiritual action and thought. When you help out in those two ways, you try to help repair the soul and heart. Physical actions do not help the inner body, but more of the outer body. Just by looking into another's eyes for a period of time, showing your emotions and thought, you transfer some of your good will and nature into the other. By doing so, you are helping the repair of spiritual and mental damage.
