I know what physical intimacy is... 'holding' hands qualifies as physical I would think just as spending time in the physical presences with your loved one seems as such, too.
I know what "feelings" and emotions are... I guess I am wondering if the simplicity of knowing these two things have been modernized by adding the word, "intimacy" - a cosy familiarity - to emotion to make it more of the 'feeling' it already is. Emotion 'towards' another... that feeling we have 'them' even outside of their presence. This I get am quite familiar with. Emotional intimacy, I am still not sure what to think of it. More so now after your explanation which seems a lot like a homogenized version of the physical and emotional. Feeling and holding of hand is just that, both. Thus my further confusion. Their entanglement and the question of being able to have one,"without" the other.
No. Holding hands is a physical act, but it's more emotional than anything. You don't hold hands unless you want to convey a message. That's not confusion. You just don't understand the emotional impact of that. Especially if you're not a naturally emotional person. Feelings are not the same because feelings are fleeting. Emotions are based on actions.
I have heard that feelings are fleeting. I have equally heard that emotions are fleeting, too as both can be ambiguous. Further, I will also note that within each word, the other other is defined by the other. Deducing that they share meaning.
Now I have never heard emotions equated to or based upon our actions. I have however heard that action is character. I believe it was F. Scott Fitzgerald who coined it in this this context. Whereas emotion can and have moved individuals to action - it likely contributes to our multiplying, too - I am not certain I would liken emotion to character or to one's integrity especially when I have witnessed some so overcome by emotion that they are left to inaction, and I dare say that this form of inaction does not make one lacking of emotion.
I do understand the value of touch... but as to whether or not I am not a naturally emotional individual, I'll leave this to our audience to decide without prejudice.
