touch [Theme]
While most modern parents go beyond stroking the head with their children, it's not the case outside of the family. To keep children safe from sexually anxious adults, we have introduced touch bans for teachers, coaches and other educators, and this well-meaning decision has an irreversible effect, exacerbating the tactile deprivation of our children. As these children grow up in an environment of aversion to touch and spread the same fears to their own children, our entire society will be further impoverished.

In other senses, man is inferior to many animals, and as for touch, he far surpasses them in the subtleties of this feeling. That is why man is the most intelligent of all living beings. This is also evident from the fact that in the human race giftedness and ungrowth depend on this organ of feeling and on no other. Indeed, people with a dense body are not gifted with a mind, while people with a soft body are gifted with a mind.

In everyday speech, tactile sensations are so closely intertwined with emotional ones that we call an emotionally awkward person insensitive, that is, literally "devoid of touch."

But is it not strange that the sense of touch, which is infinitely less valued by a person than sight, is not only lost less often, but at critical moments becomes our main, if not the only, criterion of reality.
