When was the last time you heard the heartbeat of your partner, your child, friend or colleague that you spend most of your day with? When was the last time you felt warmth as you sat next to another person? Did you feel how somebody is suffering or feeling happy next to you – without using words? When was the last time you heard the exquisite sound of the violin and watched the violinist as he moved the bow carefully to produce a beautiful melody? Did you consider how much practice, precision, and patience is needed?
