Hug chain
August 1, 2008 at 11:05 am (Stories) (hidden camera, hug, skytrain, TV)
The other day, my husband and I were coming back home from school. We were getting off the skytrain when we saw a boy and a girl hugging each other in the platform. They were holding each other, patting on each others back and shoulder, and just hugging.
We walked down the stairs and exited the station. Right outside the station, we saw another couple, in the same position, hugging. Just holding each other in their arms.
My husband and I looked at each other puzzled. He asked:” What is going on? Why is everybody hugging?”
Then he said:” Let’s hug!”. And we hugged each other, for a few moments. And it felt really good.

Later, I was thinking to myself:” What if there was a hidden camera somewhere, capturing people’s reactions to this?”
And we would be the idiots who follow other people and do whatever others do. Funny, ha? I can hear the sound of laughter, when they show that on TV.
Why are you laughing? Are you watching us on YouTube?

Sounds like a good experiment to me. Everyone can use a “feel-good” boost every now and then.

To me it sounds like spreading positive energy around. I’d love to do something to make other people hug, kiss and love each other (or even laugh) more.
