The touch…

Now that I’m 6 feet apart from my loved ones, I’m starting to realise a lot of things. One of them is the power of human touch. It can either make or destroy many things in the world. Here are some underrated benefits of the neglected feeling, the human touch.

Conveys emotions

Research says there are about 27 emotions that humans exchange with each other. The touch helps to elevate those emotions to a whole new level. It could be a kiss, hug or anything affective! Any strong emotion or feeling can be beautifully conveyed by a physical contact. Any depressed person will feel loved with a hug that conveys ‘everything is going to be alright’. 

Cures loneliness

Today, a lot of us complain about feeling lonely despite having loved ones around. Maybe we always like to complicate things! But there is nothing better than having someone to hold our hands when life gets rough. It is a lowkey cure for loneliness. Furthermore, it makes us feel safe, secured, understood and loved in the world.

Gives strength

We are living in a world that is filled with peer pressure, and it gets out of hands sometimes. A hug/caress from our loved ones can give us the strength even if there are 1000 problems to cause pain in our lives. In a way, it provides moral support to people who are in need of it. Trust me, it may sound like a cliched fact but there is no better alternative to this.

Mends a broken relationship

A touch can fix a broken heart, relationship and everything else, except a broke person…Just being a little cray! Sometimes, we need more than words to convey our empathy, and the touch comes to our rescue. A touch can enhance our words and feelings that words cannot.

Eliminates differences

There are many differences in the world today, be it religion, ideologies, or anything that divides humans. The world is sometimes a place of darkness for many innocent lives. However, an affective touch can eliminate those differences and propose unity among us. A gentle caress, pat on the shoulder or any kind of good touch means acceptance and says that love has no boundaries.

Let us stay positive in this hour since some of us are apart for many days now. Also, if we’re able, let us bring a change in our lives with the power of human touch.
