First time I watched this, the realist in me was all "How could they do this?" Imagine how many people scoffed at such an offer, I'm sure... and how many thought they were nuts? and thought they were just plain stupid... and How many suspiciously suspected some kind of perversion as the motive for such a thing? And then I thought, overwhelmed by tears, it is so sad that we wouldn't all jump at the chance for a free hug.
It's too bad that half of us are too scared to even offer up a pleasant 'good morning' to an unknown passerby. Some of us, we can't hardly look one another in the eye and offer a smile without the fear of rejection... It's so sad.

I thought all of those things, too when I watched this.
It's strange, because I think I scared the mailman this morning when I "offered him a pleasant 'good morning'" ;)
This made me sooo happy! My whole office gathered around to watch. Even the non huggers smiled. Thanks for the lift. xoxxoxoles
Aww, this made me smile too. And tear up a little bit.
Me too! I've sent this link to so many people.
Mrs. Strizzay introduced me to it. It changes my day every time I see it.
Wah!
Crying at my desk. That was so sweet! And I don't even have sound!
FREE HUGS!
Am bawling right now, thankyouverymuch. But really. THANK YOU. And thank the makers of this youtube, whoever and wherever you are. This just made my week.
Here's to hugging. Anyone and everyone.
