Seeing as how i just wrote about kisses, i figure I'd follow it up right away with one about hugs.
Theory of Hugs
Who DOESN'T like hugs? i know there's a few people out there who don't enjoy hugs from anyone, but i wanna believe that everyone has at least one person they like to be hugged by. even if they're not the "hugging" type.
but what's so great about a hug? anyone can do it.. it's not sex, it's not kissing.. it's just a hug.
In my opinion, a hug, unlike the kiss, is a different kind of sharing. Kissing is sharing yourself with someone, talking to them, saying something.. giving them a part of you.
Hugging is just.. pure... giving.
it's warmth, it's unconditional, it's just a pure form of happy, positive energy. no matter which kind of hug it is.. even goodbye hugs are filled with love. you know the type i'm talking about, the kind you squeeze them so hard cause you're trying to squeeze SOMETHING outta them.. but what? In my opinion you're just shooting into them as much love as you can, for them to carry with them.. and the same goes when they hug you back.
I think it's amazing that god gives us all these simple little things that we can do that have such a strong effect. Lovers hugging each other, a friend comforting another through a hard time, someone chasing someone else's fears away with a hug.
Why is it we feel so warm and safe and happy in a hug?
You ever notice that when you're in a hug, it's like the whole world melted away? that hug fought all your fears away all the worries you have disappear for the slightest second and everything is warm and you believe everything's gonna be alright.
In my opinion, i think that hugs are the closest we can get to the feeling we had inside our mother's womb.
Let's take a step back for a minute and ask who is the closest human being to us? Considering that this is my "theories", we're just gonna follow my opinion when i say that the closest person to us should be our mothers.
We all have one, even Islam says just how highly we have to regard them, love and care for our mothers. they carried us after all in their wombs for 9 months, cared for us then, and even when we grew up, they love us unconditionally. But people say though it's because of the time we spent in the womb that we grow so attached to the mother. When you're a baby they say that you can identify your mother from the rhythm of her heart beat. it calms you cause it's what you're used to since the day you existed as a fetus.
There is also a certain position one might take when they're in a very distraught state of mind, looking for comfort.. it's called the fetal position, the one you take inside your mother's womb. There's even talks that you know a grown man is at his weakest, when he calls out for his mommy. why do i bring this up? to explain to you how that warmth inside the womb, and that bond created is SO strong and lasts with us our whole life.
could it be maybe, that when we hug people.. we're looking for that warmth?
Don't be stupid here, i'm not saying that when you hug your wife or husband you're wishing it was your mother. No...
what i'm saying is that when someone hugs you, you're feeling the safety and the warmth that you felt in your mother's belly. and THAT'S what makes a hug so strong and effective.
you ever notice how picky you are with who you choose to hug or not to? that's because i think subconsciously you KNOW how strong a hug is and what kind of bond it is, and your choice on where to use it is your own
mother's ofcourse will give their unconditional hugs and love to their children. We hug our friends and loved ones cause we have a strong bond with them and we want to give them love, without strings.. just a pure force of energy. other people, we'll be distant and give half-hearted hugs. that's still our choice. hugs, like kisses, are something that can't be faked. you can spot the duds a mile away.
I think god created us in the most beautiful way, and I'm glad he gave us these methods of sharing positive energy with one another, of making another human being's day so much better using something so simple. It's truly beautiful and a gift that we unfortunately also take for granted sometimes, and just don't understand.
