In this video from Daily Motion, two persistent individuals attempt to spread a little connectedness and joy with their “Free Hugs” campaign. The pair are filmed during their social experiment in Sondrio, a town in northern Italy near the Italian-Swiss border, and the result is wonderfully heartwarming.
Life is indeed a journey. Wouldn’t it be a better if every now and then, we stopped to connect with our fellow travelers?
The clip ends with a quote from Oscar Wilde:
“For one moment our lives met,
our souls touched.”
Enjoy the video, which is set to the beautiful song “Hallelujah” by composer Leonard Cohen.
