Tonight, as I can’t find sleep because of my today adventures, I would like to tell you about something I discovered about 1 month ago and is going it’s way everywhere around the world. This movement is called “Free Hug”. The principle is quite easy: you stay in the street full of passengers with a big sign where “FREE HUGS” is written onto and you offer them a hug for free (if they want to).

I really like this as it is just a good and simple expression of humanity, fraternity, affection, pacifism, altruism and love of the others. It’s free, it doesn’t hurt, and it brings warmth into the heart of people.

The movement has spread on all continents and big cities already (New York, Tel Aviv, Paris, Tokyo, Seoul, Bucharest, Hong-Kong, Amsterdam, Beijing, …) and you can find a bunch of videos on YouTube here:

It’s crazy to see that people are so suspicious or reluctant to a free hug ! Damn, it’s so easy to give happiness and be joyceful, just get or give a hug !
One day maybe it will be possible to give a hug to someone without being looked at like a weird person ? And that day a sign will be no more needed ?
We all need affection !

Anyway anyone who want a free hug I can give to him ! All my friends got one already ^^
