Thought for today:
"In the full span of things life can be short, so it's better to make your hugs long and enduring for we never know when we next wrap arms around the one we love.
There have been numerous studies that have shown that children whose parents hug them as they develop, tend to grow into more loving, expressive, caring and all-round adults who are happy in their own skin and don't make others jump out of theirs.
They are also stronger individuals, unafraid to mix in any company and walk with head held high or in humble and respectful presence. They are known to have the potential to resurrect hope in the desolate, bring comfort to the sick, promote peace in the dying and raise compassion in the hardest of hearts. They even have the ability to ferment forgiveness in the most stubborn and embittered of souls. They possess the ambitious desire to broaden horizons in the narrowest of minds and yet have the humility to recognise one's potential limits and reluctance towards such change during moments of high resistance.
Such individuals come to be known by many different labels of human description. Some will know them as 'saint', but more often we call them 'good friend' and others 'soul mate'. I have even heard of 'good persons, parents, partners, husbands or wives' included in this honour roll of recognition. Whoever they be or from wherever they come, of one thing we can be certain: that from the very moment of their first contact with the world until their last breath has been expired in it, they learned how to hug and they subsequently reaped the rewards of their tactile tuition."
