how many roads must a man walk down before you call him a man how many seas must a white dove sail before she sleeps in the sand yes 'n how many times must the cannon balls fly before they're forever banned the answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind the answer is blowin' in the wind yes 'n How many years can a mountain exist before it is washed too the sea how many years can some people exist before they're allowed to be free how many times can a man turn his head and pretend that he just doesn't see yes 'n how many times must a man look up before he can see the sky yes 'n how many ears must one man have before he can hear people cry yes 'n how many deaths will it take till he knows that too many people have died Just blowing in the wind, Long haired, bearded, playing music, helping poeple, who cares!!! Now I think peace love and harmony are just dreems, I'll go by them though I know they're dead the minute Adam set foot on earth... may be a long time before...there's been war in heavens before that ... who knows!!! I AM depressed too
Yes, peace and love are dreams. But if we start to think they'll never become reality, they never will.
come on now, many wise poeple tryed to make it a better place since ever man kind existed, including the hippys, and what do we get? war, crime, violance, steriotyping poeple, home brutality,...etc. THE ANSWER ME FRIEND IS BLOWING IN THE WIND SAD I'll try and hold peace love and harmony inside me, and I would share them with the minority who still thinks this way, better than nothing at all SAD
sheesh guys, brighten up. yeah, I've been depressed before, and like others have said, its all part of the human experience. no, the world isn't just this fucked up hell-hole. and if you can't see that, then you are just being whiny. of course I agree with all of you on what is wrong withthe world, but at the same time, you can't let that be the focus. I think taht is the main reason hippies are upset- they criticize the world because they would rather not work thorugh their emotional troubles, and would rather make themselves feel better by claiming that they are above others becaues they recycle and care about human rights, etc. Yes, I have been like that before, but I'm trying to appreciate how RIGHT our world is too.
It helps if one attempts to stay focused on only the good , letting ones mind sit amongst the negative for long bouts of time is like trying to walk through mud without getting any on you, you may walk away from the puddle, but you bring a bit with you each time you wade in. Whatever is uplifting ,and beautiful and promotes good karma, think on these things
Hmmmmmmmmmmm! Depressed...! Who could imagine, that someone with your energy would find themself in a depressive state! You're like a skyrocket...fuse lit, powder burnin', colors and whistles bursting to paint the sky! You're not depressed...! Too much talent, too much zoom...need an outlet (and not a factory one). Need purpose. Too much time with self, too much time on side of road. Need focus, need put finger in light socket of life, pull chain! Others need your energy, zeal. You are giver...ggiiivvveee! Put down mouse and brownie, remove personage from chair...call volunteer services at hospital, VA Center, free clinic, food distribution center, any place that will answer call from you....will put smile on face(s). No time for downdowndowndowndowndown. Go sparkplug! Your fuse short, life fuse shorter! Self-wind and goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
For me, it's hard NOT to get depressed because, gee, just look at the world we live in. There are so few of us who are like-minded in "hippiness" and we don't even come together that much.
True, how true you are, but then again you can always get buy with a little help from your friends. In times when I lack money, I seem to lack smoke. Peace & Love
