TOUCH SENSE
Among all the senses that the human race is bestowed upon with, I feel touch is the most complex and important one. You can be blind, and yet see through your touch, you can be deaf and dumb, yet experience the life through touch. Have you ever thought how it would feel to be without the sense of touch? You cannot feel the heat of the sun on your face, nor the cold wind brushing through, neither the chill of the pouring rain running down your spine, nor the flowing blood from a cut on your finger.
Apart from these medical and strictly physical usage of the touch to feel the things, I think touch is also used to feel once inner self, the character of a person. Try shaking hands with your friends, and you can have the glimpse of their personalities in that touch. Cold and unmoving hand laying in your hand; quick and brisk shake of the hand; wet and sticky hands; firm and warm fisted; all depict the person we are dealing with.
Though you can feel this touch through out your body, hands play a very important role in feeling this sense. Let us say, hands are where the sense of touch is most concentrated. Ever touched the bulgy cheeks of a child; the snout of a scared rabbit? Ever felt your skin going shivery against the watery muzzle of tail-wagging dog? Touch, without any effort gives us the intention of the person touching us. Loving, caring and caressing touch, scared and fear-to-touch touch, hateful and painful touch, most hated and violating touch. The touch almost transfers the character of the person to our brain, and makes us to act accordingly. A loving friend’s assuring touch can lighten your grief when you are feeling low, Lover’s sensuous touch can start the higher notes on the harp of your heart, A doctor’s assuring touch can fill hopes in you, of speedy recovery. Your grand mother’s hands on your cheeks, giving you the most-loved-person-on-the-earth feeling, your pup licking your face, your pet cat purring in your arms, touch of lotus petals, touch of dried leaves under the your feet…. As I told in the beginning, even the blind can understand the language of touch. And children and females are more receptive to the sense of touch than our lot(In that sense, we grow senseless over the age!).
Also Most of us feel unsteady when we cannot touch anything worth transacting. We can feel the actual softness of a velvet cloth, the smoothness of the silks and make sure that the sales-person is not just blabbering off his well manipulated dialect. Don’t you think, where eyes can deceive you; touch can really hold you onto the best of the choices?
There are divine touch and healing touches which heal your body and soul. You are very touchy if you can’t control your emotions, You are also a touch-me-not if you cannot mingle with fellow human beings and on the extreme levels you can also be touch-me-and-you’re-dead persons. Touch stone can transform all that glitters into the real gold. Lastly don’t you think this is one touching story about the sense of touch?
