Sometimes I think life is like the Sims. We each have little bars that go up and down as time passes and things happen in our lives. Happiness meters. Hunger meters. Hug meters.
I think I feel the "meter-effect" most with my hug meter. My hug meter is often very low. I love getting hugs from people I care about, but hardly ever get any these days, so my hug meter is almost always near empty. Different people can refill the meter at different rates. The more a hug means, the more energy is replaced in the hug meter. Unwanted hugs can reduce the level of the hug meter or count very very little to refilling it. Longer hugs, obviously, add more to the hug meter; while shorter and one-armed hugs add less towards refilling a person's hug meter.
And sometimes other happy emotions can help refill the hug meter; without actual hugs. Last night I had a dream about a hug, and it refilled my hug meter significantly more than any hug I've gotten in a long time. Funny, that. ^__^
