Bathing is the washing or cleansing of the body with a fluid, usually water or an aqueous solution. It may be practised for personal hygiene, religious ritual or therapeutic purposes or as a recreational activity.
Bathing can take place in any situation where there is water, ranging from warm to cold. It can take place in a bathtub or shower, or it can be in a river, lake, water hole, pool or the sea, or any other water receptacle. The term used to describe the act can vary. For example, a ritual religious bath is sometimes referred to as immersion, the use of water for therapeutic purposes can be called water treatment or hydrotherapy, and two recreational water activities are known as swimming and paddling. The city of Bath (known during ancient Roman times as Aquae Sulis) is famous for its public baths fed by hydrothermal springs.
The main purpose of bathing is for personal hygiene. It is a means of achieving cleanliness by washing away dirt and soil, and a preventative measure to reduce the incidence and spread of disease. It also reduces body odors. Bathing creates a feeling of well-being and the physical appearance of cleanliness. Bathing may also be practised for religious ritual or therapeutic purposes or as a recreational activity. Therapeutic use of bathing includes hydrotherapy, healing, rehabilitation from injury or addiction, relaxation. The use of a bath in religious ritual or ceremonial rites include immersion during baptism in Christianity and to achieve a state of ritual cleanliness in a mikvah in Judaism. It is referred to as Ghusl in Arabic to attain ceremonial purity(Taahir) in Islam. All major religions pay an emphasis on ceremonial purity and bathing is one of the primary means of attaining outward purity. In Hindu households, any acts of defilement are countered by undergoing a bath.
I made this wishes with you
when coast to coast
and we both felt so alive
We traded safe for something,
Just had to be and we almost lost our minds
But we still here searching!
this is loud
this is cold
this is endless
and i know
growing up has just begun
but there's a place we can find
where this pain is useless
we'll forever be the young
summer came and flew by
twice as fast
it was close enough to feel
and after all this waiting
for skies to fall
i need this to be real
please let it be real
this is loud
this is cold
this is endless
and i know
growing up has just begun
but there's a place we can find
where this pain is useless
we'll forever be the young
when i was broken
i was healed
i learned to fight
i learned to feel
and i cant believe my eyes
you are still here next to me
all i need,you are all i see
in this life we hoped to find
this is loud
this is cold
this is endless
and i know
growing up has just begun
but there's a place we can find
where this pain is useless
