This made me cry & smile at the same time

Maybe there is hope for peace. This is a youtube of a guy giving free hugs. It seems appropriate with the Lennon film out now. Enjoy and:hug:

on edit: I know I'll probably get flamed for this, but this guy's attempt to show a little love just touched me so. Maybe there is no hope and it sure seems like it at times, but I have to hold onto something and this reminded me that even in the darkest times (and I've been there) a beam can come to light the way.

7. That one made me decide to sign up with YoutTube.

Had to give that lad the higest rating.

Sending link to some people I know who are down so far perspective is difficult.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Hugs to all you evilDUers. You keep life and hope burning in many more than you will ever meet.
