You can have a great big hug from me, why as a society we don't do it more often baffles me , as they say an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure, and a hug seems so simple but people make it so complex, truth be told I sometimes times roll around the house singing the Huggies diaper commercial song, it's such a comforting simple interaction that is proven healthy with infants so why when we become adults does it turn into a handshake at best or nothing at worst , unless you are amongst family and even that's questionable with the amount of broken homes and disenfranchised children due to there sexusl identity or other equally stupid family intolerance, we are doing amazing things with technology ,and robots and computers but all that equals a big zero if we are devoid of understanding, love and hugs, we can live a full and complete life without any technology billions of people have many of our ancestors didn't even have a telephone in there home ,let alone in there pocket, but look at what they had healthy communities , safe streets because everyone new there neighbors ,healthy family groups of multi generational compliments , get together over a bonfire and coffee in the center of town, those people did not need 4000 friends on social network sites , they did not have like buttons , but they had hugs and good morning and hellos ,how did humanity get so off track how did we get from Jon boy and half pint( The Waltons and Little house on the Prairie for those younger readers) to American dad and survivor , simple pieces to life have disappered , as was a slogan at one point "hugs not drugs" . If you haven't figured me out yet here's the key to me I am a very sensitive caring person who is just outraged at the decline of humanity, we call other people enemies and friendly nations and all kinds of fears of war yet silently the decline of society has coincided with the growth of technology and money ,does money have value at all when compared to the worth of a hug , I would rather sit by a pond with my son and catch fish for tonight's diner and be the poorest person dressed in rags because in my book I would be the wealthiest person alive to get a son and a family that would hug and respect each other ,
How's about we all get a big ballroom somewhere and just hug each other until we couldn't do it any more , let's take back our humanity a hundred hugs a day ,little turtle it's time to write that prescription for all of us .
And I can say with absolute certainty hugs have a tremendous value, I used to volunteer in a super max prison and hugged each participant after leading a trust circle exercise, some of these guys lit up like the biggest Christmas tree you have ever seen by being hugged , and would say things like I have not had a hug in 10 or more years,why would you trust me ? Because you made a mistake ,your still a human being and I am to assume your gonna hurt me rather than take the hug , I was willing to bet on there humanity and goodness even if they weren't.
I have run my mouth again sorry all,
Hugs all around for everyone that needs or wants them !
