Hands

06.30 | It is not a rare occurrence to see people holding hands here at Bethel. I almost think it seems like the norm. I'm fairly certain I see at least one a day.

I don't really see the appeal to the whole holding hands thing. Who wants to go through the whole process of even getting there? Do you have some conversation to them earlier about it or do you just go for it? Even thinking about it makes my hands sweat and then I think who would want to hold my sweaty hand. There has got to be some kind of draw or appeal to this sort of ritual. Maybe it is the human version of marking their territory like a dog. Humans are animals. Holding hands is like a public address announcement saying to everyone. "the persons hand my hand is clenching is mine so everyone else should just back off."

Holding hands brings me back to the movie Wall-E where all he wants to do is hold her hand. There's gotta be something that makes people want to hold hands. Maybe it's because a pat on the back just won't do, it's just not physical enough. Maybe it's the connection, the link, that it makes.

Either way I don't know and this seems to becoming a very lame blog. Just random thoughts on something I see everyday.
