The power of a hug

A hug can break down barriers that words sometimes can't.

A hug is a close bond that is established between 2 human beings, in it we find comfort, friendship, brotherhood, love, compassion ...

Human beings thrive on contact with each other and often languish without it. We are social creatures. The simple act of hugging can lift a person's spirits and make them feel connected to the other. When you hug another human being, you have to put everything aside and focus on that hug.

The world is often a cold and distant place. We build walls around us to keep others at bay. In the process we often lose what is most important. We are caught in battles to survive. We forget that we have to do more than survive and exist. We have to live. This open and genuine gesture called a hug can, even if only for a moment, break down the barriers that often separate us.

What separates us from machines is not our intelligence and reasoning. Rather, it is the ability to connect on a level that only a living being can feel and understand. The connection of touch and love is a basic need and a part of ourselves that makes us flourish.

Here are some quotes about the power that resides in a hug and a video:

- "You cannot wrap love in a box, but you can wrap a person in a hug." Unknown author.

- "Millions and millions of years and I still don't have enough time to describe that little instant of eternity when you put your arms around me and I put my arms around you." Jacques Prevert.

- "A silent hug means more than a thousand words to a sad heart." Unknown author.

- "Hugs close the door to hatred." Tony Davis.

- "Hugs, handshakes, even a good intentional touch, transfers useful energy to boost the immune mechanism in the body."

- «Hugs don't need new equipment, batteries or special parts. You just have to open your arms and open your heart. » Jill wolf
