Heeheehee.
Rawr, it means I love you in Dinosaur.
The silly boy above isn't a dinosaur per se, so he's more likely to offer you a free hug, but I think the sentiment behind it is essentially the same.
And I agree.
As humans, we are all social animals, (some admittedly more so than others) and in that respect, interpersonal contact is almost necessary to living. The great majority of people get depressed when deprived of the company of others. It's this kind of belief in human interdependency that has spawned the likes of the free hugs campaign, which has become a world phenomenon.
We can't live alone, or to put it using the more popular turn of phrase, no man is an island. We just aren't hardwired to work that way.
So I urge anybody who happens to stumble across this (or you regular readers) to go out and spread the love. Even if it's just within your household, it will make a difference.
For the past several years, I've been attending a camp through an organization called the Power of Hope, and one of the keystone ideas behind this organization is the belief in fostering a sense of leadership through the arts and the community. Go out and make your community.
