Black eyes

They are the inspiration for dozens of songs, poems, films and an inevitable complement to the phrase "canela skin", their humid and dilated presence is the sign that betrays the lover; they are common in art but exceptional in the streets, they are sought and not found; That is why the conclusion is that black eyes are not abundant and are not in sight. That, the fact that they are not easily seen, occurs for several reasons, the first and most important is that there are other colors that, due to their abundance and commonness, obscure and hide them, are blue, green and brown. The latter is the most frequent, leaving for blue and green close to the other half and for the remaining colors enough space to qualify as exceptional.

It happens that when meeting or looking at a person for the first time, the tendency is to scrutinize in their eyes the effect we have caused, if they like us, if we impress them or if we are a superb bother, then without wanting to, or wanting to, we find ourselves with the color of his eyes and in them a crossroads with only three paths: indifference, love or oblivion. Although the eyes are the mirrors of the soul, now, in our modern and hectic life, they are the skylights of the spirit, a tool for communication, seduction or weapons of selective destruction of hearts, that is why it is said that there are looks that kill. And the most impressive messages are transmitted by people with yellow, violet and even red eyes, the least abundant and enigmatic. These colors and their shades are the product of the variation in the amounts of natural pigments present in the membranes of the eye, that is, the different shades of color that we see in the eyes of others are only the product of genetic chance and not of a special formula. when conceiving the baby, the passage of the moon or the so-called evil eye, which is something else and totally different.

Red eyes do exist and they are not the product of a long night of partying, their lucky owners are usually albinos, people who almost completely lack melanin in their skin. It is unfortunate that for this reason they suffer from photophobia, strabismus, myopia, astigmatism and other diseases that prevent them from enjoying the color of their eyes. Next on the list of exceptions is the color amber and its yellowish tones, also called 'wolf eyes' which should not be confused with those who suffer from liver diseases.

Violet eyes are one of nature's greatest extravagances, the most famous case being movie actress Liz Taylor, who was once said to have no violet eyes, only that they appear violet. Only 1% of people in the world have black eyes, which have only two possible origins, that the color of the iris is such a dark brown that it appears black, or that its wearer suffers from aniridia, the almost total absence of the eye. iris in both eyes.

A truth can be sad, in the case of the existence of black eyes the truth is sad, and a lot. It is not only that they are scarce, it is that when they are found; They are either a disease or are actually a deep, strong brown that is perceived as black. But the true truth lives in the hearts of writers, poets, and everyone who contemplates the gloomy jet or the deep night in the eyes of their loved one, regardless of the color of their pupils or who was born without eyeballs, the same, to them they are black eyes.
