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.
