We all have the ability to react objective, subjective or mindless,
no matter how much we distain [subjective & mindless]
... as sometimes survival instincts, that had millions of years
to program the human race, takes command of our logic.
If [unaware] we touch a hot object with our hand, the hand will jump off
before we had time to understand what happened, and if I tell a person
an object in front of him or her is burning hot, while it is room temperature,
if that person's hand is forced to touch that object, the person's brain will
initially "scream" in pain eventhough no damage was done to the hand.
The approach we sense that another person takes to "touch" us determines
more of our reaction to the "touch," than the actual makeup of the "touch."
If we feel or think or anticipate that which approaches us for a "touch"
resembles a danger or anything of a substance we do not want to encounter,
then we will react in a survival mode, either defense or offense or simply
run-away or ignore it or criticize it.
At times the approach is false, the sender to target us using manipulation
for good or evil, or the sender was not careful, or the sender did not realize
the receiver was pre-conditioned to interpret the "touch" in a non standard,
non normal, or simply an off-the-wall way.
