Connecting creates compassion. Agreed! And needed. It is said we need at least 4 hugs a day to maintain sanity; many of us are Not meeting our quota. This is one of the many reasons I organize FREE HUGS throughout the world. Everywhere it is nearly the same, We are desperate to connect. People of all different ages, cultures, religions open up for a hug. People share the most intimate details of their lives in the moment of embrace. "I'm homeless, do you hug people like me?" "My husband died a few weeks ago, even in this city of 8 million, I feel so alone." "I haven't been touched in 20 years, this was worth more than any money you could have given me." And so it goes. Please Hug someone today. You may be amazed how deep the impact of that one hug goes. HUG from my heart <3 to yours. Here is a short video which speaks of one of the most powerful Free Hugs I ever experienced: the Free Hugs piece begins at 2.54: http://talentsearch.ted.com...
