The loveless person is non-magnetic and he shows that he is by his non-magnetic hand shake. When two developed souls shake hands, their clasps are never light. There is a thrill that goes through both when the two currents meet. Love arouses the opposite currents of the positive and negative natures. When there is no love, life loses its charm. The hand quickly shows when love is being aroused. This is why you should study the art of hand shaking and develop your social affections.
I have two short questions to the paragraph above:
1. Does "through both" mean "through both hands"?
2. I'm not sure how to understand the phrase "social affections"? Maybe "develop the skills of feeling what the other person feels"?
Top answer
1. Both = 2 developed souls 2. No, I think 'feelings of affection' in all relationships (friendships, lovers, admirers, etc)
