Does public affection institutes love? Does is displays ownership? (The hand that I'm holding and the body attached to it belongs to me, so back off!!!) Could there possibly be too much public affection, especially when children are around?
These questions all stim from the movie, The Namesake. It seemed to be traditional for Gogol's family to not display affection, not even an "I love you". I'm not for sure if this is an accurate Indian tradition, but it made me think about those couples, both hetero and homosexual, who don't seem to mind "showing off" their love for each other no matter where they are. What do you think...can there be too much or too little public affection?
