Esguard (glance, considerateness, consideration).

In an absolutely visual culture like ours (panóptical society of continuous monitoring), the glances cross the space, are crossed, faced, challenged, And to top it all, we have prothesis for the glance: the microscope, the telescope, the magnifying glass, the binoculars… Metaphorical or in anthropomorphic way we assigned glance to the inanimate beings: the automobiles, the trains.

We associate glance and light because without light it does not have glance. The mystic uses the inner eye: the third eye. The witchcraft the evil eye. Oedipus took the eyes to have seen the nakedness of its mother.

Attention! Everything is glance.
