I read the banner above; and 1) I agree, but 2) I ... advise caution.

When I'm at large gatherings of 'friends' (i.e. 'fellow church-leaders & -attendees' and/or 'fellow Trauma-survivors & -therapists' and/or (back in "my younger days") 'fellow students & teachers'), I'm not exactly 'operating according to a script'—sure, I'm 'trained' with basic etiquette-&-protocol (like everybody is); but I don't 'plan every single action' beforehand (and obviously don't expect anyone else to either).

Quite a while ago, I found out that "hugs are good for people's health." But I'm also an occasionally-'lust-driven' human being (obviously not a 'lust-junkie,' but ... the hormones & dopamine are an inebriating formula). The chemicals boosted by 'friendly hugging' (mostly the upper back, shoulders & arms) might activate senses that–if you're not careful to "keep the chemicals under control"–might lead you to try 'romantic hugging' (deeper, involving the face, neck, waist, lower back, etc.)

'That word' (below-linked to further discussion on 'hugging-etiquette') is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which the our lexicon stands ...
The word “Hug” is built on ... something like “Comfort, |Courage, Mood” (to Think, Consider; Mind, Soul, Thought; the name |Hugh; to |Foster, |Cherish (to Enclose with a Hedge)).





Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong—that's one reason
 Our Father God said "It is not good for the man to be
 alone":  "Because the man'll think he's right until someone else shows
 him why he's not"—Won't you show me
 if I'm right-or-wrong in the comments below?
