I just saw the above comic while scrolling, from the watermark below it you can tell it is from a guy called "Jerkdouglas of Jerkdouglas.com"
As soon as I saw it I was thrown into the same mood the guy who picked up the little girl was in, the same urge that pushed him to pick her up. Damn, she's so little and adorable.
It's all art/fiction but a lot of times in life I've come across cute small people like that and I always get the urge to just pick them up and hug them tightly, and tell them how taken to them I am.
But life doesn't work like that and it is sad. It's a sad thing I've thought about so many times because I really wish life was more benign and fun than it is now.
If I just pick up a cute little person like that chances are I would get headbutted, when my action was motivated by the most innocent and cutest of feelings.
Probably if they don't headbutt me someone else around who they belong to might do it. Maybe a friend of theirs or something. Or at least everyone involved might give me a hard time.
I get this feeling from cute little people who are mostly too old to be that small (adults), but I also get the feeling from cute little children and babies.
It's sad how you can't just go on and hug a stranger even though you have the purest intentions for them to the extent that if anyone was to attack them at that point you'd give your life to protect them.
But we're now in a world where we have to respect boundaries. And it actually is nobody's fault because strangers might be dangerous. If they're not hostile they might be carrying a disease or just smelly.
So it can't be a normal practice for strangers to hug each other out of the blues like that.
A good way is to ask for permission, though, but chances are they'll refuse and you'll still not get to hug this cute little bug you just saw.
I really wish it could be different that every small person would find it cute that they have that effect on me and be happy to hug it out. Especially as I'd definitely be looking good and clean 😅.
There are many cute little wishes like this have, for example, one time I saw a person who looked so much like my neighbor and I know my neighbor's siblings, this person isn't one. I told her to wait so I'll go and get my neighbor so they'd see how much they look alike.
It was supposed to be fun but this person was so suspicious told me they couldn't wait. And of course you can't blame them, I'm a stranger. But I wish the world was such a place that we don't have to fear each other that much. That everyone was a friend and bad intentions were about non-existent.
