What does a hug give a person?

5. Protection. Feeling protected is necessary for every individual. This is especially important for children and the elderly. They are the most defenseless people. 6. Confidence. Besides the 'courage' booster, everyone needs the lubricant called 'self-confidence'. If we don’t support and encourage each other, how can we move forward in life? We can't. Hugs help to gain the necessary confidence. Bringing joy to each other, supporting, protecting, inspiring by hugging - this makes life much better, easier, and... kinder.
