This cute, maybe 5 inches tall figurine just came into the college. He looked around, tripped over his shoe and, scared, looked at his mummy... He was quite terrified by the emptiness of the huge building and after he stood up, he just looked amazed. He was looking around, touching stuff, being hardly even able to walk properly... then he had been sat on my desk as his mum had to put his gloves on. He winked to me and said: ‘O!’ - and then: ‘A!’ And smiled. I smiled at him too. Then, realising that his mum was too busy talking to her friend to pay attention, he crawled towards me and hugged my arm. He was still smaller then my arm. He was not afraid. He just wanted to thank me for the smile. He was quickly taken away and his mum apologised to me for him. Hm... Funny, I thought, I can’t see the reason she was saying sorry for. They walked away, leaving me with a feeling of emptiness and lack of something. Lack of pure, crystal clear love and positive emotions towards other human beings. We do not award people with hugs for their smiles. We’re too busy...
