Μπορώ να σας ακούσω σε έναν ψίθυρο, αλλά δεν μπορείτε νÎ

I'm feeling thoughtful today. I'm not too sure why. I think it's because of school. Sociology class is so interesting. It makes me think of so many things. today we were talking about the genie case of isolation. it's so sad. and then we talked about relative cases. there was one how this orphanage run by nuns was taking care of this newborns. any ways, there were two rows on each side of the hall, one near the wall and the aisle on each side. the babies near the wall were dying so they moved them to the inner row. they got better but then the babies in the outer row who were supposedly healthy were dying. they had researchers come in and watched the ongoings. they discovered that the babies in the inner rows survived b/c the nuns would rub their back or feet while talking to each other and just that touch was either killing them b/c of lack of it or saving them. it really amazed me how much we rely on interaction with other humans.
