What is that you need so badly?

Not exactly sure if this is the proper place to post, since I usually put anything in ramdom thoughts; but here it goes:

What do you miss internally?
What is that thing (if you can identify it) that would make you feel complete and satisfied. Something that you had once and lost it, or never had and it and have been internally wishing without knowing? Or are you absolutely sure what you lack but it appears impossible, or needs to be worked on for long to get it?.

 

I dont know, but I'm trying to figure that out....having a hell of a time doing it. Just leaving me confused......there's something missing, though. I can feel it.

 

For me, its good luck. If I have it all is well, and if I don't, nothing is.

 

What would make me feel complete and satisfied? Really good drugs, or.....not worrying about what would make me feel complete and satisfied.

The reason most people never find happiness is that they never learn to stop chasing it. Blame our consumption driven culture for a large part of that.

 

love. unfortunately. my life lacks it.

 

Then we need awareness of our mediocre frame of mind, to realise things that help us stay content, no?

 

Yours might be mediocre. Mines usually downright shitty! lol But yeah....or good drugs.

 

Mine goes through so many changes, I need all the help I can get.

 

Pot and the Tao Te Ching are mostly what keep me sane. We all need something, that's for sure.

 

I wish I did more of those two myself.

 

what is sane and normal, though?

 

I won't be fully satisfied until I live off of the bounty the wilderness provides completely independent from others and completely free from any power other than God. He has told me what I can and cannot do, and mankind does not need to add what they think about it. He has taken care of the law making process and He has taken care of the justice system.

 

Sane, to me, is being in harmony with one's self and the laws of nature. Sane and normal though,.......that's a hard one!

 

Well if you're 'insane' either its just a meaningless label society puts on you because they don't understand you, or it means that your mind does things that you can't control (negative things). Although this is more accurately mental illness, some instances could be called insanity IMO.


Normal is bullshit. If you're normal, you're brainwashed and faceless. Normal is a very bad thing to be

 

"Insane" is a meaningless label I put on society because I don't understand society. hehe For me it's synonomous with "normal".

 

I understand society all too well, and have seen way too much off the same thing. Everywhere you go, things just look exactly the same, all the people say the exact same things, dress the same way, participate in the same activities, use the same three chords for all of their 'songs', and etc.


In the ideal world, everything is unpredictable. You feel most alive when you're in a new environment with exciting twists and turns, new smells, and sounds, and things to touch. That's why tripping or being a child is so much fun, because you experience new things whereever you are. In society, things just get dull and cliche after a few years (Pink Floyd- Comfortably Numb)

We shouldn't be living life knowing what tomorrow will bring and without any feeling or anything unexpected. Where would hope fit into a predictable world? If you know what is coming next, then you can't hope for something better, right?

Society is everything that is not human. It turns us into robots, and depressed ones at that.

 

I couldn't agree more. These are all very good reasons for being a hippie IMHO! You walk down the street and see the people all going through the motions of being good robots looking exactly like all the other robots in a city that looks mass produced and hommogeneous and then here comes someone boogyin' down the street wearing something colorfull and unique with beads, patches, with blue hair maybe, or a big crazy looking hat or something....it's like a breath of freash air in a place that smells stale and sterile.

You can't make life perfect, but you can make it interesting, which is important work; given how many people are making it boring in the process of trying to make it perfect.

 

Yeah I'm exactly who I want to be thankfully, and I assume you are too haha. If we weren't then the world would just be that much grayer. Hippy music festivals are the places where humanity is at its best. They usually have the best modern music, so many unique people, a loving environment, usually wilderness is close at hand, and there is no authority besides whichever ones you chose to follow. If there was a place to live at that was like a permenant fest, that just may be paradise.


There are paradises all over the place though. All you have to do is smile and receive one from some one else.

 

I wish there were more hippie music festivals here in western WA. All the rain here is probably the reason there aren't. The Seattle hemp fest is probably the closest thing.

 

Well if you feel like travelling down to California I know there's some fantastic ones. If not, travel east and meet me at one of the many fests haha.
