A simple hug means you care. A simple gesture that may mean so many things, more than words a painting could give. When you feel low there is one thing that you need the most, it’s a hug.
I was in a friend’s house searching on what we can do over the internet, then he asked me, ‘have you seen the video, “Free Hugs”?’ and I said ‘no I haven’t, and he said ‘you should watch it’. So we did. It’s a simple video that made me feel so emotional. A man have this sign that says “FREE HUGS” and out of nowhere people coming over to him and giving him a hug. It was fantastic! Until some people tried to stop it so they made a petition, and they gathered 10,000 signatures! Amazing! I wanna shed some tear, after realizing that ‘yeah everyone needs a hug!’
I remember the time when I was seeking attention, and feeling that I have no friends and such drama in life. And when I came into the office and our party place, I asked my friends ‘I need a hug!’ And they gave a hug. Then my world became bright again. To me those hugs that I have received that day made them say to me that everything is going to be all right. After that I was contented and went back to my old self.
When everything comes tumbling down, just ask for a hug, or even if you don’t ask for it, if they know that you need it, you will receive some hug. This simple thing can mean the world to each and every one of us. It’s one essential thing that being ignored most of the time. We give and receive hugs, but we’ve never thought how deep it is. Sure we got some or give some, but what does it really mean? Three letters that contain profoundness. Poignant and loving, giving and receiving, sharing to one another the meaning of LOVE. We may be the simplest or poorest, the wealthiest or the most powerful person in the world, but there is one thing that money or power can’t give us, and that is a simple ‘Hug’.
If you see this video, it will show that there is still Love in the world. One simple thing that gives us grace and meaning in our lives. Don’t be afraid to ask or give a hug. It’s free!
