From Japan to SL

There was a board that is not a part of exhibition of UWA arts for a time. I was not able to see the purpose but there was a nice text, so let me introduce the full here.

There's something in a simple hug that always warms the heart. It welcomes us back home and makes it easier to part. A hug's a way to share the joy and sad times we go through, or just a way for friends to say they like you 'cause you're you. Hugs are meant for anyone for whom we really care, from your grandma to your neighbor, or a cuddly teddy bear. A hug is an amazing thing, it's just the perfect way to show the love we’re feeling but can't find the words to say. It's funny how a little hug makes everyone feel good, in every place and language. It's always understood. And hugs don’t need new equipment, special batteries or parts. Just open up your arms and open up your hearts.



I think a hug (not bug) is more common animation when I started SL. I liked to be hugged and to drop in his arm at the end of the day. There was a dialog asking if you are OK to be hugged but there was a gentleman who invited frowns of disgust by hugging a newbie who did not know well about it. I have not had a hug recently, simply because I do not have a person who would do so…
