Misusing touch by forcing it to others...
Or by sharing too many frightening stories about rape. Or by taking it too far and not listening to the others' limits - that sometimes doesn't require our hearing but our sensing them, how do they feel with our touch, how do they react to it...
And misusing our touch isn't necessarily sexual. You can prolong a handshake or a friendly hug.
Being aware of our energies isn't easy to everyone.
But everyone, and I am sure about it, everyone can feel when something is unwanted, if they just care about it and are a little bit conscious about the connection with the other.
By misusing our touch, we created a world of fear against it, and we continue by being more and more repellent to it. We created stories and more stories against it, how diseases are spread, laws around consent, clothes, we even made nudity illegal, then houses with fences and security doors and more and more doors.
We distance ourselves from one another and we lost trust that the other is a loving creature, that will not push themselves onto us.
We live in fear of being touched, of fear it is going to turn to some form of violence, as if touch is the point where closeness begins to carry the potential to be dangerous, harmful.
That shouldn't be like this. Just because it is like this, doesn't make it normal. Things could be different. Nature doesn't take precautions against touch. We're a peculiar species. What happened to us, and while everything in nature is trusting themselves one upon the other, what happened to us that made us so cautious, so frightened and tight?
Is it the results of numerous civil wars between our species or is it something else rooted back in Time, as religious books like to narrate?
