Rules for the road: Embrace it and trust it with all your heart. Love it, make it work. Never define yourself except as an individual. Someone who thinks what they want to think. Realize that the way your like this is because the world wants to make humans more efficient. It's the natural way, the world compensates by being overpopulated. Simple eh?. We are the natural defense from earth. We are independent thinks for a reason. The reason is that if we think independently we will undoubtedly realize that we are killing our own habitat. We are killing ourselves. And were taking the world down with us. I don't think we can do that. It's not right. Independence, Unite! Never compromise, realize that we are all explorers looking for new answers. And thus be nice to your fellow explorers. Realize, hippies are not environmentalists. They are explorers looking for new and better ways to live do so as to sustain the human race. We are the last defense against catastrophe. We must make another stand, and another, and another. Do not let darkness fall upon the land. Keep it bright! Realize, most things that people associate with being a hippie, come from finding an answer. We do not become environmentalists, we embrace their ideas. The reason that so many hippies think alike is that the answers are there for all to find. And thus are universally true. We are the new human, feel our light.
Also, always carry a hacksaw blade. You can always cut the lock off the dumpster behind Domino's Pizza after they close and have food for a week.
