Anyone know about "free hugs"?
Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. When his world turned upside down, he standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, He wanted someone out there to be waiting for him. To be happy to see him. To smile at him. To hug him.
A cardboard and a marker and made a sign. Hold the sign aloft with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.
Its how it all started. "Free Hugs"
I saw it when i was in UK travel to Manchester. peoples are holding a cardboard with the word "free hugs". Hugs to the stranger and feel warm and brighten up peoples lives. yes. for me, hugs are free. hugging someone when they are in sadness, happiness or anything. It will definitely bright peoples up. its so powerful and its free. why not you hug your frens or anyone around you when they needed. To see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time. I used to hug people when I was crying or sad. maybe not anyone would like to hug someone strange to them. just try it next time when you are down. hugging someone and it might make you feel better when you both parted and smiling to each other.
you must be wondering why I posted about free hug so suddenly?. hmm, i watched a hk drama last night. and in one of the scene, a girl told a boy that today is a world hug day. and so she hug and kiss him. and so do the boy hug and kiss her back. This remind me of the free hugs event when i was in Manchester. So i search for when is the actual date for the world free hugs. hmm, not so sure. Its just stated the first saturday of july continues until august first. hmm, thats mean this coming saturday would be the "world free hugs" day!!hehe..
I sharing this just because I feel its so meaningful and amazing. they have to keep this event on every year in the world.
enjoy a video of the free hugs campaign. Its a real story of how the free hugs campaign get started.
The man in the video who holding a cardboard with free hugs is the one who raised this campaign - Juan Mann. He holding the cardboard for 15 mins, people just stared right through him. The first person who stopped, tapped him on the shoulder and told him how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. how what she needed now, when she felt alone in the world, was a hug. he got down on one knee, they out their arms around each other and when they parted, she was smiling. The free hugs song by sick puppies -" All the same"!
