I wanted to share some things about Hippies. A complete American made ordeal despite what south park says.
It started right here in America in the 1960's and traveled all through the world. It still lives today and seems to be getting louder and louder each year; especially with the band Furthur going on tour.
In this time we are enduring some of the same obstacles as those in 1960. War, Oppression, Brink of a Depression. Hippies now are against war and oppression but they are also becoming pretty savvy in political debates and also getting involved in to politics in general. I myself hate political debate, but will if need be.
I myself as a hippie look forward to the future. I want people to have choice and to truly be free. Think about others before yourself, Treat others how you would like to be treated, show compassion and care not hatred and doubt. These are all things from different religions. That's also something that's awesome about the hippie movement, everything is mixing and becoming one huge ball of energy.
It's almost as if being a hippie is some sort of religion it's self. You have your hommies you spend time with on the weekends and then you have your annual trip to a festival or camping destination. You try to practice and learn different tips while you are around these people and events. You take all of it home to practice in real time.....and there's also meditation. Which I guess could equal as praying....but it's really a resting your mind state. I don't like organized religion....so I guess that's why I like the hippie culture. It was/is organized chaos without a leader. :)
