Natural Freedom

In the HealthEd program I'm apart of on campus a came across a section today in my reading and it wrote: When I read it I instantly thought of our forum.

My thoughts make me believe that we do need to be touched by others. I'm thinking of the need to be held and touched by family and close friends. I'm not sure about the NEED to be held by the opposite sex in a sexual relationship. I instantly thought of: being your own best friend. I'm curios to read perspective on it, because I want to see if I'm going to hard and closed-eyed on this journey.

Is this one a belief held up by the Matrix, or one connected to our instincts and nature?

Nature - but "need" is not literal in the sense of life and death when you are older. A newborn will literally die without it. For children there are other emotional effects. There is an emotional and chemical response etc. from it. You will crave it especially if we are talking early teens etc. - you wont necessarily know what it is, especially with fucked up nutrition and all the other stuff.

Telling you that you absolutely need it could easily be twisted to yet another thing to make you worry and consume. That's where to stand guard.

The thing to remember is that it is UNnatural not to be in small communities, physical touch etc. for the human species. No matter what society turns into "normal" for us, the animal is there. Most of culture is about making the animal bad and wrong so you think you are wrong- it is not a coincidence that sexuality and touching etc is taught as "wrong" early on.

Don't take for granted how completely fucked up it is that simple human affection or getting touched esp by the opposite sex has become something to "earn" - it makes for ideal consumers.

The experience of skin hunger in the first place is a result of matrix
