yes it works. one hug. will more than one hug!
humans need physical contact, and the affectionate kind, i don't mean the 'i'm gonna rip out your eyeballs and stab in a bar fight' kind. Man was not created to live by himself on an island, it's possible and lonely. Touch is enough to send messages of love and affection to someone. I'm not even talking about couples holding hands or making out, i'm talking about friends sitting close to each other, their shoulders touching or something. It's just a little skin contact, but it says so much, trust, care, closeness, love, affection. These things are present in friendships too.
The Hug just accentuates all these things. You hug someone with outstretched arms, a sign of peace and welcome, you draw the person into close proximity, trust, and you hold them close, love and care and affection. Amazing how much feelings a simple action can do. This little epiphany dawned on me when shah hugged me, though we were both covered in mud and i've no idea when he wanted to get more mud on me, since there was too much already, yet, i felt uplifted, and happy for a few seconds since i was having a really bad day.
So i conclude that we should all get at least one hug a day, it'll do wonders to your face, it'll make you smile so much more.. and it's gotta be a real hug, or it doesn't count. Try it, get a hug a day from some whom you really love and who loves as much, like your mom or dad or siblings or grandparents and you'll start to find life so much better.
Though it makes me wonder why i was born with slightly heightened senses. I sensitive to color, to sounds around me, to taste, to smells and to touch. But it's super easy to fulfill the needs of each sense save for touch. Sure textures and stuff are nice, but nothing beats the warmness of someone else. It sucks to be single.. haha.
but nonsense aside, go get a hug! and give hugs! Real ones too.. Be generous with them, you never know, your hug could save a life.
