There is no more soothing, comforting, healing human emotion than love.

By definition, it takes us outside the prison of our selves and bids us follow our brave but fragile hearts, not our sturdy rational minds.

It need not even be reciprocated. Loving is never wasted, never truly in vain.

I am bent and scarred and have failed at much, but I have loved. No one has ever done anything better than that and my soul smiles for having thus succeeded in life.

I would add the human touch. When I feel bad/sick someone holding my hand or putting their arms around me brings me instant peace.

Will never be soothed, comforted, or healed.

We currently have many examples.
