Children hold the hands of each other to show friendship and to help each other. Couples hold hands to show affection. Strangers hold hands at vigils as a sign of solidarity to a cause. The hands of the elderly are held to show caring and reassurance as life slips away. No matter what type of hand-holding is practiced, it brings a feeling of closeness. Oxytocin is released, which lowers stress and bring other psychological benefits. This is the same chemical that is released during other acts of affection, such as hugging.",
