I’m sitting in my internet cafe with my good friend, Rob Davy. We’re working on a new website project to do with equestrian classified ads.
For the last few hours we’ve watched a group of people across the street in front of Starbucks holding up “free hugs” posters. I’ve seen this before around town and at university. From official home page for the Free Hugs Campaign:
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.
In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.
I’ve always liked the idea of the FHC, it’s something I think that brings everyone involved closer together, mentally and physically. I personally wouldn’t go and stand on a street corner because I have other priorities, but I have hugged a person or two in the past.
