The Importance of Hugs

Every person needs physical touch to feel good. Of course, there are exceptional states, such as monasticism or a person's retreat from worldly life into solitude. But there, in fact, a person is not so lonely, experiencing the embrace of another, more subtle, intangible, spiritual matter. Let's not dwell on that for now. A simple earthly hug is meant to help one another, to transfer strength and, at the same time, to receive it to the same extent. Often, we can't find the words to express our feelings, but a hug explains everything without words and puts everything in its place. Hugs are a language, rich and intimate, not inferior to the speeches of kisses, rather complementing them with another, irreplaceable shade.
