I think it's about how far off track a human can get, in the absence of love, that most basic of our sentiments --- without receiving, and being able to receive affection, appreciation, acceptance, we can get so cold and hard inside, and feel so distant from life and other people. And that can feel terminal. But that can all be turned around, melted, in just a moment or two, by the right gesture, the right words or the right touch from the right person. It can all come flooding back, with just a little kindness.
