What a compassionate story, Cara! You satisfied a human need of Understanding, Empathy, and Compassion for a fellow human being in mourning and "frustration" (the plane delay), as the hug did her a world of good in her time of needed comfort that another soul cared about her plight.
Jewish, Buddhist, Moslem, Hindu, Christian, Atheism, Agnosticism, mysticism, and any other religious or philosophical belief system, ,and ALL OF US beings on this planet have the same basic needs: good health, a roof over our head, food on the table, clothes on our back, a circle of family and close friends, and financial security until the final exhalation on our journey in "making the rounds."
It's our man-made systems of greed, money and power which causes exploitation and suffering with endless "wars" for the benefit of the few who profit from it.
What a true and beautiful meditation – thank you! You are a light unto the world, as the necessary incumbency we must all (the very few) take up to preserve The Word!
There is a reason why mankind is a social animal. You have just illuminated the reason.
