Cheers!


Some people say ‘cheers’ instead of saying ‘thank you’ or ‘goodbye’. But, the most common use is to raise a toast while tipping drinking glasses. I had once asked my father the reason behind this practice. He told me that he had heard that it sought to unite the five senses. The drink was touched, seen, smelt, tasted and the sense of hearing was added by saying cheers! 

Indeed, the uniting of all five senses adds to the overall impact of the indulgence. In fact it completes the entire scope of experience. It is pertinent that we can in many ways unite to impact the activity or encounter by adding the involvement of more than one sense.

So often when we listen, we indulge in only hearing or seeing and thus are subjected to an incomplete exposure. However, if we use both, our ability to fathom the other person’s mind would be enhanced. In intimate relationships, touch will add substantially to the understanding that is necessary.

In fact, sensitive people go around using a combination of senses to empower better connections with the situation or the person facing them. They will refer to the receipts defined by these multiple senses to come to a truly balanced interpretation of the situation. They use the right permutation from uniting senses to lead to that success that can be underlined by saying ‘cheers’!

The combination of senses brings success near
Let’s ‘unite to impact’ the triumph, say Cheers!
