About This Quote
In the ancient world, the arms of others were used in a variety of ways. They could be held in an embrace or they could be used for defense. In ancient China, the arms of others often became a symbol of trust and love. The arms were also associated with protection and compassion.
When you hold someone’s arms in your own, you are showing them that you care for them and that you want to protect them. You are also giving the person you are embracing a sense of security and safety. That can help them to feel comfortable and confident in themselves and others around them.
