hugs can't be cheap enough | Jul 23, 2007 |
It's something to give away just like this!!! I believe this is a wonderful campaign! Thinking about all those people craving for some contact in our cold and loveless world... (Sorry for these sad words... but aren't they a bit true?) Hugs for everyone! | | |

I think it's a nice idea, but hugs aren't wonderful because a person is putting their arms around you, they're wonderful because they are an expression of friendship, sympathy, consolation... Can this hold true if the person giving the hug is a stranger who has never seen you before, knows nothing about you, and will never see you again? | | |

They all leave with a smile! A third point to check. | | |

Hugging strangers? | Jul 24, 2007 |
I don't think this will go over too well in the US where in many cities it's advisable not even to make eye contact with strangers! | | |
That's just the sad thing! | Jul 24, 2007 |

That's just what is so sad about "our" world... But I was thinking about all those "old" people all by themselves with no one ever hugging them. They are so LONELY often. So it's just about giving them a bit of love and friendship (even if you don't know them and will probably never see them again!) Great thing to share isn't it? | |

I guess I'm alone in not finding this prospect appealing! | | |
