Free hugs

很喜歡的一段影片

一直都很喜歡擁抱
情人的擁抱
朋友的擁抱
家人的擁抱

有人說 五秒鐘的擁抱 勝過五分鐘的言語
我是這麼相信著 語言本身是很有限的工具
常常很難正確而充分的表達情感
而人與人之間的溝通 其實非語言的部分佔了一半以上
而且人有與生俱來能接受非語言的訊息 能解讀絃外之音的能力

一直是個很熱情的人
但我相信這是因為家中有個熱情又活潑的媽媽
(好吧 這真的是我的擇偶條件…)
不知道是不是因為男性的精子不帶粒線體
所以粒線體都是來自母親
而粒線體又是產生能量的中心
所以 有活力的媽媽 就會生出有活力的小孩

雖然家人不能常常見面 但從小就常常對我們又抱又親的
不知道是不是也受她的影響 我和妹妹之間也是常常又抱又親
後來青春期 可能是感受到男女有別 這樣的接觸明顯的少了
一直到大學之後 受了電影喜福會的影響
我又開始主動去抱爸媽和妹妹
也會開始抱朋友
透過擁抱感受對方 傳達關心和愛

所以看到這個廣告就覺得很感動
人與人之間的互動 是可以這麼的單純
其實大家都是需要擁抱 需要被關心 需要被愛的
如果大家每天都能和身邊的人擁抱的話
身體上 心靈上被滿足
這樣大家應該都能過得更開心吧
然後 世上的戰爭和糾擾應該會少一點吧

話說 現在就覺得胸口好悶啊 好需要充電一下
話說 不知道什麼時候我才能給我的病人擁抱說？
這樣 病人的喘和胸悶會不會好一點啊？

Free Hugs的起源

Juan Mann – talks about Free Hugs.
- On Its Origins -
I'd been living in London when my world turned upside down and I'd had to come home. By the time my plane landed back in Sydney, all I had left was a carry on bag full of clothes and a world of troubles. No one to welcome me back, no place to call home. I was a tourist in my hometown.
Standing there in the arrivals terminal, watching other passengers meeting their waiting friends and family, with open arms and smiling faces, hugging and laughing together, I wanted someone out there to be waiting for me. To be happy to see me. To smile at me. To hug me.
So I got some cardboard and a marker and made a sign. I found the busiest pedestrian intersection in the city and held that sign aloft, with the words "Free Hugs" on both sides.
And for 15 minutes, people just stared right through me. The first person who stopped, tapped me on the shoulder and told me how her dog had just died that morning. How that morning had been the one year anniversary of her only daughter dying in a car accident. How what she needed now, when she felt most alone in the world, was a hug. I got down on one knee, we put our arms around each other and when we parted, she was smiling.
Everyone has problems and for sure mine haven't compared. But to see someone who was once frowning, smile even for a moment, is worth it every time.

短片歌詞
I don't mind where you come from,
As long as you come to me
And I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly
I don't care no I wouldn't dare to fix the twist in you
You showed me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind..
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again,
You'll just come back running
Holding you're scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems to long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill
Yeah, I have the will
To breath you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am

I don't mind..
I don't care..
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again,
You'll just come back running
Holding you're scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
It's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it, your leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding you're scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same
