Recently rediscovered from ancient manuscript.
(Hugger = hug giver, Huggee = hug taker)
Law 1. For the Hugger.
To prevent a crushing experience
“The force exerted,
By the Hugger,
Must be exactly
Equal and opposite –
To the force of the hug,
By the Huggee.”
Law 2. For the Huggee.
Rights of the Huggee
“Once the cover,
Of the need for a hug
Is blown –
The Huggee exerts
Just as much force
As is needed,
To keep them safely –
In their comfort zone.”
Post Script from the writer.
I know this old Bhugger,
Lives somewhere
Back in the hills,
He says
“Never hold yourself back
From a hug –
They’re very good
For heart related ills,
Reducing sadness,
Loneliness –
And preventing
Emotional spills!”
