At times when the world is upon our shoulders and we feel lost and alone, we don’t need words or gifts. All we NEED is a hug. A comforting presence of embrace. To feel loved.
We are in the age where social communication is driven through a monitor and keyboard and where friends can only be together through cyberspace. We seldom feel that simple human touch or we take it for granted.
But when all is lost, it’s one simple truth to be held and comforted by a hug.
Please watch this video and forward it to your friends. ‘Free Hugs’ is a campaign created by Juan Mann to promote the essence of a simple hug.
He started his campaign by creating a ‘Free Hug’ board, walked along a public place inviting everyone to give him a hug and be hugged in return. At the first part of the video, you’ll feel sorry for him and may take him as a fool to waste precious time and dignity as no one giving him any attention. As the video progresses, a sense of belonging happens and different people are suddenly giving overwhelming response to the Free Hugs movement. Juan Mann found himself hugged by a lot of people and some joining in his campaign.
You’ll feel good and emotional watching this video.
The Official Free Hugs site can be found at FreeHugs.com. Responses for this “people movement” is so heartfelt, it’s impossible not to be touched and take a some course of action.
So this is my response. I’m sharing this video to everyone I know. By the next we meet (to all my friends I haven’t seen in a while), I’ll give you a hug (just don’t run! HAHA!)
