The Free Hugs campaign

The Free Hugs thing has been around for a while but I saw the video on TV today and it reminded me of how awesome, yet simple, a concept it is.
Wikipedia has some background on it here.
As a society, even in Christian circles, we have become detatched from others as if keeping a distance is a good way of protecting yourself. I find this pretty hard to deal with. Coming from a place where most of the people in your street know you (and still do even though I've lived elsewhere for over a decade) into a massive, individualistic city like Sydney is a huge culture shock. Something like free hugs makes me smile because we should be outwardly friendly and warm. If you haven't seen the video, check it out.
