Dear friends,
You possess how many percents of prejudice, how many percents of reservations, and how many percents of laziness each time having to hold out your hands to give and take a hug?
One hug will not make you any 5 kilos slighter, I am more than certain!
One hug, pertaining to all of its implications, will not detract from your perfection in other people’s viewpoint.
One hug is likely to make you blush, yet out of the joy of sharing and loving rather than embarrassment.
Just with the banner “Free Hugs” and all the hugs and hearts willing to reach out to one another, Juan Mann from the “kangaroo kingdom” breathed deep meanings into his own life and everyone else’s
Dear friends, have you ever drifted through a state of loneliness and isolation? Have your hearts ever sunk when facing work obstacles? Have you felt torn apart following the loss of some friend or relative? In such moments, you must have yearned for a tight hug, a sense of pervasive warmth and understanding. Nonetheless, the hectic wheels of life have rendered most of us increasingly reluctant to give our nearest and dearest even one hug.
I am well aware that with the Oriental culture where spiritual values and subtle expressions of human love reign, hugs become somewhat rare and hard found. But dear friends, open up yourselves a little bit! You will miss out on that simple happiness by continually being rigid, shy, lazy, or worried about other people’s subjective evaluations.
I was impressed when reading the lines of Charles Faraone once wandering on the Internet: “Think about friends and relatives in your life. Wanna give them a hug? Don’t procrastinate. Take the initiative!…
We need 4 hugs every day to survive, 4 hugs every day to resume our existence, and 12 hugs every day to be growing up…”.
Starting from the hugs of a lonesome man and traveler on his own homeland Juan Mann, the “Free Hugs” campaign has extended throughout Australia to the America, Korea, Japan, China, … and Vietnam as well. It drew the attention and support not just of the willing-to-share hearts, the forlorn minds in need of consolation, but also of every single individual who dreams about a brighter life – a better future.
