English: Four hands holding. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
“Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That’s why it’s a comfort to go hand in hand.” — Emily Kimbrough
It is not unusual in many societies throughout east Africa for men to display their friendship for one another by holding hands in public. Two soldiers on patrol in the streets of Bujumbura, Burundi nonchalantly express their affection for one another. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
(Would it were we could all go hand in hand. Too often we try to go it alone, for a number of misguided reasons. Or, circumstances kind of force us to go it alone. Almost everything is easier, and more worthwhile, in the company of others. We should get over this macho notion of rugged individualism, as the be all to end all. As social creatures we can accomplish so much more collectively than individually. Just two can make a group . . . but the more the merrier. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
PS. And there should be no stigma attached to men holding hands, or women holding hands. It doesn’t have to mean attraction or desire. It can simply mean friendship and support. — YUR
