Loves and Hugs

A friend sent me a video. I want to share this Video from Australia.

It is about a man who was doing a free hugs campaign.
< “Free Hugs” is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. >

We do not have the custom of the ''hug'' in Japan. Japanese people express how they feel with self effacing actions and facial expressions, not very well, and we tend to be shy.
In my opinion, sometimes Japanese people keep strangers at a distance. I mean it’s hard for us to open ourselves to others, but I think that everybody wants to share the delights, sadness of life; everybody wants to be with someone and wants to feel that someone is next to them. So when I saw this video, I felt something we don't have.... and my friends felt it too.

Enjoy with music! Play the short movie!!

I was really touched when I saw the video.... I got a feeling of love. Japan does not have that custom 'hugs', but I sometimes feel that people should express themselves, their own feelings, more and more... show the emotions more and more. I have friends of many different kinds of people, any generation. I like to be a person that can understand difference. so I always try to think of things from another point of view.
Love and hugs
