In order to counter anguish, it is necessary to enhance cohesion, unity and love and all those situations which reduce loneliness and isolation. Unfortunately, people are generally unaware of the language of emotions. When we ask “Where do you feel love?” people are often dubious, do not answer, and after some time they exclaim: “Well, of course! I feel love in my head!” Have you ever seen someone take his hands to his head when he declares his love? No one takes his hands to the chest to express their love. Whenever we express a feeling, we spontaneously take our hands to our chests. Although our body language shows that at the unconscious level, we are aware of the place where feelings are placed, most people are unaware, at a conscious level, of this location of feelings. Many believe that love is an abstract concept, a utopia that cannot be reached. Love is often confused and reduced to sex and sex to a commodity which is there to be consumed. This situation is far from the love that is required to effectively counter anguish. Today, people consume love, however feelings of anguish, emptiness and loneliness increase.
