Perhaps one of the oldest and most important forms of affection is the hug. Its roots can be traced to many thousands of years ago. It is not a feature peculiar to human beings alone as there are many species of animals, which engage in a similar exchange of warmth.
A hug is the exchange of warmth usually arising out of joy or happiness at meeting someone. It is practiced in almost all nations, countries, religions and sects.
A hug is also exchanged as a sign of support, comfort and love. It has powerful capabilities that can create lasting bonds of unquestionable strength.
A hug gives an emotional boost and the ability to keep going.
Also pay heed to the new Hug stemming from Australia the Backwards hug.[citation needed] This backwards hug is only used when leaving the room and can only be done between male and female adults.
