lasergraph said:

Sad we have to ask. Our level of comfort has been encroached. We are now afraid of being misunderstood about our intent in such an activity that was once just innocent.

TO HUG ~OR~ NOT TO HUG ? A 4 6 4 Sonnet
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks FRED ~ We live and learn ~ Love the conundrum about the two Male Russians kissing. In our Church and Family the Men do hug each other but the kisses are reserved for Men on Ladies and Ladies on Ladies. I had noticed in Russia and some East European Countries that the Men do kiss Men on each cheek ~ now I know the meaning ! Please add a Poem to my latest FUSION on FLOWERS ~ Thanks BRIAN

FredPeyer said:

Brian, I like the subject you brought up here. There are times and places when hugging is appropriate, even wanted or necessary, and then there are times and places where it is not appropriate.
On a lighter side, do you know why Russian men hug and kiss both cheeks? First kiss: What did you bring me?, second kiss: Where did you hide it?

orchidee said:

Know what you mean Brian. Even in church not everyone likes hugs. it\'s easy if someone hugs us first. We know they won\'t mind a hug in return - or at the same time. But some usually stiff and starchy folk won\'t care for it. Or there may be some psychological bad experience in the past.
Here ends amateur psychology lecture on \'hugs or not to hug\'!
It\'s most embarrassing to us and others though, if we attempt to hug, and someone doesn\'t want it. No need to be a porcupine!

p.s. I just love that beautiful example in the picture you chose - look at their smiles and see how much they are all getting from authentic hugs.

Genuine hugs mean the world to those needing them - good read Brian and one which we all need to keep close in mind.

Laura🌻 said:

Caro Amico Brian,
Hugs and kisses are fine...
depending on the giver!
In our Italian family, we
hug and kiss freely...
family, friends, and
especially our children...
even when we’re angry
with one another!
Saluti, abbracci e
baci...
~Laura~

Louis Gibbs said:

Hugging, as satisfying as it can be, is an invasion of another\'s space after all, and should not be imposed on anyone not comfortable with it or receptive to it. You can tell, if watching for the signs prior to the hug.
Good write on an important subject, Brian! Thanks for introducing it for consideration.

myself and me said:

This is an ill and crazy society. No matter what you do or you do not do, you always get blamed. Why? No answer for it.
Your poem got a good point.

I think grown adults in a church giving a hug is okay. I\'d say more than okay. But what they are accusing people of is much worse. And we all know the allegations. But I still am sending my spiritual hug to you this morning-Hug! Christina

TO HUG ~OR~ NOT TO HUG ? A 4 6 4 Sonnet
Michael Edwards said:

Even language where there is no consistency in what is now deemed right or wrong - I\'m not condoning what went on in the past but it was never questioned at the time and we have moved on. To castigate someone to the extent that they commit suicide for acting in the past in a way that is not now deemed acceptable - well shouldn\'t we be concentrating more on the present... ? I am also a bit tactile and the other week when a group of us got together everyone was giving everyone big hugs but I noticed a young girl who seemed quite uncomfortable with it. I know not the answer.

TEN COMMANDMENTS ~ A Poetic Survey
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks STEVE it\'s the age we live in ~ almost a Post-Christian age. Commandments 5 to 10 are related to the Home & Community and 6 to 10 would be common to all Religions and be Laws in most Democratic Countries ! Thanks for your reasoned reply ~ Yours BRIAN

TEN COMMANDMENTS ~ A Poetic Survey
orchidee said:

I think it\'s only to be expected in a not necessarily asking only church people survey, that the Community and Home commands have appeared first, and the Spiritual ones at the end. Looks pretty accurate to say that, or generally speaking in this list.

TEN COMMANDMENTS ~ A Poetic Survey
Michael Edwards said:

After the first three they are not in the order I would place them but some don\'t apply to me anyway - nevertheless a good set of ground rules and good write.

GROWING OLDER ~ A Reverse & Revamp Poem
Laura🌻 said:

Caro Amico Brian,
Growing older is not easy...
just ask my mom! It’s fine
if there are no aches or pains!
All we pray and wish for is
a good quality of life!
Liked the structure!
Very interesting!
Saluti e abbracci...
