In case anyone was wondering why we even need Operation: Optimism!, Look no further. When we start thinking about the death of hand shaking, we start down a slippery slope toward increasing isolation and unhappiness.
If you, like some others, have been wondering whether you should stop shaking hands in light of the recent outbreak of swine flu, FOXNews is right there to help you. They asked the doctor: Should we stop the handshake?
“Absolutely not,” says Dr. Keith Ablow, psychiatrist and FOXNews contributor.
“We’ve had threats of swine flu before, and we have faced other communicable diseases before without changing our basic pattern of interacting socially,” Ablow told FOXNews.com.
“Stopping the handshake could have a negative effect. We need human touch and genuine communication more than ever right now.”
We all knew the answer, though. Right?
Let us resolve to be more forward with one another, and to increase our connections with our fellow men and women. We can't let questions like this go unchecked, or ignore the voices of reason that get buried under the lead. This is our chance to prove to ourselves and one another that we are in this together, and that only together will we excite a revolution of optimism.
