—It all starts with warmth—
How can we understand the role of warmth in creative and social processes? Is it true that warmth is the initiation ofall beginnings? To be a human among humans entails working concisously with social processes, and when interest istaken in this field, it becomes evident that this too has certain universal characteristics. Can one understand socialprocesses as a form of art, and the humans involved as potential artists?
Warmth is undoubtedly essential in social,creational processes. Knowing what characterizes it and how it is cultivated is arguably necessary to become able towork consciously in the social field.
