Human Contact is like electricity - TOO WEAK CONTACT = TOO LITTLE... TOO STRONG CONTACT = TOO MUCH 

The "Should be" here is something more balanced between humans and any points of extreme (although extremes when signaled can work well too and cut to the chase).

EXPLORATION IS THE KEY

Feels like the exploration and mutual discovery IS LOST when it's too weak in contact (like electricity passing through us, not enough) or too strong in contact (burning the people out)...

EXTREMES MAKE IT ONE WAY OR TOO HEAVY

When it's lukewarm and too fiery as "contact" and not the middle, it's not always making real contact. It can be one way 🔜 instead of both ways 🔃

EXTRA PARTS / SOME REPETITION.... below

SHOOTING APPROXIMATELY
AND ACCEPTING IMPERFECTION:

All can work but the middle is like shooting at a target get to get somewhere approximately (remember because we're imperfect approximately is actually ok or should be!)

CONTINUATION EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE BITS OF SOMEONE

IF more is to be discovered it can let us continue with something else good... often people stop because people are using windows or something!

Something like "trying more stronger contact" or in "different ways" is good advice while for stronger people needs balancing and even help in articulation (someone rewriting my work has helped in the past wonders as "human contact" isn't always as easy as a post about "electricity" a simile... !)

TLDR: Contact as human electricity, is like electricity from Earth when we connect things well in a chain, between human (not just material extraction but human contact is different).
