Hands

Alice and I tend to hold hands, unless we have seen a too age unbalanced couple strolling near us in SM City, leaving but one hand each for carrying things naturally. But it is nice to hold your partner's hand. In fact I hope that we will still be doing this at an advanced age. There is something extremely pleasant about seeing an old couple holding hands.

But it seems the younger generation (to me this is nearly everyone!) have a different view of hand holding. The whole point is surely to hold the one who matters to you.
However youth seems to be able to spread this further around, or maybe it just shows that the fickle female is seeking out a new partner before discarding the old one? But it does show a different view on the reason for hand holding.
However I have decided views on the "live and let live" style of tolerance and so I must just say it may not be my style but let them get on with it.
And to fortify my strength of character I must quickly go and see another pair of hands preparing a concoction to maintain my tolerance.
