• When the Kansas City Chiefs won their playoff game against the Buffalo Bills in an exciting last-minute climax, Chief’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes stopped celebrating with his team to cross the field and hug and console his opponent Josh Allen who was spectacular in the game.
• Hugs are not always physical – they can be pep talks or expressions of pride, confidence or support you have in another person.
• A hug can simply be lending an ear to one in need of a listener.
• But a hug starts by sharing your good fortune or a gift that you have with another without expectations of getting something in return.
• “Hugs” whether physical or verbal always involve two people with their arms and ears wide open.
