Positive People Today Positive People Today

Hey everybody!!
 Thinking about loving and compassionate people in this world, I would like to write something about Dr.Patch Adams, who is another human trying to stay positive and who believes that LOVE alone can change things in this world.
I met him last Summer when I attended the Summer School for Designing A Society...
Well, i do not know how many of you saw the movie PATCH ADAMS...the philosophy of love comes right through...and for those in India, there are indianized versions of the same movie..Munna Bhai MBBS, or Vasool Raja MBBS or Shankar Dada MBBS..and so on..
Patch Adams is love from head to toe...we had a whole week with him..we did several workshops with him..i will share some of them with you here...
1. We had to pair up with someone from the class who we were not familiar with, look into their eyes and tell tham about all the love and happiness in our lives..weird you would think! but trust me, sometimes talking someone you hardly know..and let out the truth..and share your innermost happiness is something wonderful..you could go on forever...try it!
2. we had to say the three magical words 'I LOVE YOU' to another person we hardly knew in as many different tones as possible..and actually mean it...for 3 minutes...wow! After a while you would actually start loving that person...well, i did!
3. And doing all these workshops under the sky, amidst the trees and waterfalls,lake and mountains...was something!
4. Hugging is another awesome healing factor...which each and everyone of us should practice..of course, i had learned that from my father...and i've been practicing it from childhood...a hug helps heal a lot of hurt..fry hugging at least 5 people everyday...and see the difference...
5. Patch has a XXXXXXXX Large panties...which can fit in 18 adults at one time including him..he takes it with him and tries to get different kinds of people into it...for eg, if he is in a hospital, he makes the Dean of the hospital, the janitor and people from various departments get into it..thus making them friends for life..otherwise these people never even greet each other!
this is just a beginning right??
so, how many hugs are you going to give today??
As part of his life journey, he spreads love and happinessthrough the various health care intensives he conducts, and the social and political activism that comes in the form of love, and he also clowns just to make people and kids laugh and that too in places where many of us think there is no hope (because war and poverty have literally wiped all that hope from them)
anyone can join him on a clown trip each year, the details of which are in his website...
