The paper today had an article on cuddling being very good for health. I was happy, since I pamper and cuddle my kids a lot. But the shocking issue was the article described the whole concept like shouting for ‘save the earth’ help slogans. Apparently cuddling increases the oxytocin in the body… how many of us think of things like that while cuddling? And the icing on the cake! Due to increasing single humans, there are cuddling classes! Why don’t you take a bloody injection in oxytocin? Would save a lot of energy.
What has the world come to? Early morning laughing therapy to improve the heart, cuddling classes to increase the oxytocin in blood, are we sure we are the Homo sapiens and not some silly amoeba under a petri-dish?
You want to know how to cuddle? Learn it from your kids and yes, the increasingly single population can learn it from their aged parents. I am sure they lived long enough without the Google to not have forgotten how to and the present day amoebae, do not Google this plueassee…..
There is a certain feeling of coming home to in the arms of a loved one, the soft chubby touches of a baby, the tight hug of a friend, the tentative one of a new boyfriend, the cuddle of a husband that simply never stops just there…. Don’t spoil this with a freaky class. We are humans, I am sure even the present mutant varieties can come up with a bit of genuine emotion.
So let’s stay human!
