Free Hugs
I got this from Kenny Ahn’s cousin Danie Jung’ site from a few days ago….
Love… love… love it!!!!
Started by Juan Mann
…
Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives.
In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal.
As this symbol of human hope spread accross the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring.

:coolman: Wow, that is such an inspirational story. I think the only reason that the police would have banned it is because someone spoke out about a persons missuse of it. The human race being what it is in so many ways corrupt, since we live in a world of sin, it is hard for trust to be so easily formed. And a random person may have decided to use this as a chance for pick-pocketing or perhaps gropping. The police heard about it and naturally had the obligation to keep it from happening. Never assume that any side is naturally bad or good, police are here for our protection. They wouldn’t have tried to stop this unless they had gotten a complaint about it. The basis of free hugs was clean and pure, but in this corrupt world can be turned by one to evil.
