3rd Increment on the Yardstick

So, it's been a few months and the question is - has anything changed? Has the yardstick of happiness deviated even one iota - and I am here to tell you - after over a decade - the stick stands as is, with little or not alteration. Is there some overlap with Maslow? Sure - but need and happiness remain different.

So, what's the third bit? It's all about physical love - I mean - truthfully emotional is probably the next but if you were really to look at this yardstick you'd realize it's more of a hula hoop ;) Ok...so...to continue...

Physical love - does this mean sex? It's a big womping valuable bit, but it's not the key. Physical love goes well beyond sex - to all sorts of physical intimacy from a hug to a kiss to a handshake to a clap on the back.

Remember - just 'cause you aren't having sex, doesn't mean you aren't getting physical love. In fact - in some cases, people may get a whole lot more happiness out of a huge hug well composed than out of a whole lot of sex. Consider it...not saying not to go for broke and go for the "O" but...think about it.
