‘For some reason, we humans flourish under the influence of love and we gradually die without it.‘

The Frederick’s Experiment. King Frederick took babies from their mothers at birth and placed them in the care of nurses who were forbidden to speak in their hearing. But a second rule was imposed, as well: the nurses were not allowed to touch the infants. To his great dismay, Frederick’s experiment was cut short, but not before something tragically significant regarding human nature was revealed. As you may have guessed, the babies grew up to speak no language at all because they died.

There’s a reason why some people need more touch than others. There’s a reason why more people unalived themselves during 2020-2021.

That little few seconds of hugging and touching makes a world of difference.
