Has YOUR revolution started?

What are you all waiting for? It sounds like everyones saying "its coming, its coming, its coming..."
My question is, "what is there that you guys are waiting for?"

I know my revolution has started. Im not waitn around for someone else to "tell me" its started. Ive decided for myself, and over what I can control---myself. And I know that for me, my revolution has started.

How about you guys???

Im planning many things...a Hipforums gathering in PA (anyone who can get there is welcome to come! Hitchhike!), and Free Hugs rallies, and also what I'd like to call a Love Line.

The Love Line will consist of someone in a car, with a sign on it that says something like "Get into the Love Line! We're going to go party! Join us!" and we'll drive around for a couple hours, until a bunch of cars are following, and then we'll stop somewhere and get out and party and celebrate love and life. Im not worried about having hundreds of people following. Maybe no one will.

All I know is: I just want to live!!!

I'll be back in the US in July, and thats when Im gonna start gettin those things going. I'm gonna have a Hug Rally this weekend in Berlin.

Cheers and Love,
Dylan

 

Im just curious to hear what you all feel.

 

"So I start a revolution from my bed...
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head.
Step outside the summertime's in bloom.
Stand up beside the fireplace....
Take that look from off your face,
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out..."

That's all I get to contribute.



Seriously though... I do not want a revolution, but what I do want is constructive social change, and I teach by example, I teach through my writing, and I teach by talking about important things with every person I meet, skipping the silly small talk... people's minds have to be opened before they are ready to go to Hug Rallies and such. You are doing a beautiful thing, but you might be targeting the wrong crowd.

You can sit around and talk about revolution with people that also want a revolution all day. Or you can go out on the street and shove it in the face of those who hate the idea the most.

 

Exactly. All those hippies talking about when we gonna start the revolution has really got me so far that the word revolution annoys me when I hear it. I'm not waiting for a revolution to be started, the word revolt just stinks. Go do what you think is good for you and the world, do positive shit, but don't start a revolution for the revolution thing.
And when you start acting consciously to make the world a better place don't call it instantly a revolution please.

 

Rubin, why you gotta poop on every party?
I think you feel the need to try and find hte negative, and un-doable side of everything.

I personally dont think theres anything wrong about doing what Ive seen people do before witht he Free Hugs, I dont think its shoving something in peoples faces, not like Im gonna be going up to people and forcing them to hug.

And spreading good vibes and trying to make positive change isnt always about worrying about whether what youre doing is going to be pushing peoples buttons or not. If you worried about that with everything you did, then you would never get anything accomplished.

Im not into pissing people off, but I am into stirring them out of their sleep, interrupting their routine, and making them think.

And who is "the right crowd"? Everythings undoable, isnt it? Whats your plan then?

Im just glad that the people before our generation didnt have that attitude, otherwise a lot of things in our world would be much different.

 

I like your plan Dylan!
My change has been more internal than external. I now do whatever the hell I feel like and it feels good
If I seen a hugfest in action it certainly would lighten up my day!

 

oh well a beautiful plan....
i like the way you are full of enthusiasm and love, Dylan!
Just...i dont think the results will be great...i'm not pessimistic but...people are just indifferent
YOU want a revolution, not they...
anyway if i had a chance i would join you for sure

 

Dylan, you are either too young or way too idealistic to realise that there is not a speck of negativity in my post. Like I said, the Free Hugs is a beautiful thing... do it... just don't expect a revolution out of it... I am also not talking about pissing people off, I'm talking about confronting them with the real ideas, and not a some facade of peace and love.

If people in past generation had my attitude, then there would have been a revolution, instead of a complete distraction from all social change by peace, love, and lsd.

 

love and peace to reign free, to overthrow the war machine, to stop killing innocent people.

that's my revolution..

i'll be waiting for that love line..even though i can't drive...
*hugs*
peace and love forever, brothers and sisters.

 

way too young? man, youre not really older, youre 20.

Im not saying that I want a revolution in the world because of me giving out Free Hugs. The point of this post was that I was thinking about what I wanted to do to spread good vibes out there, and I was trying to encourage others to do it too, and to not worry about having billions of people following, or for other people not to wait for something to happen.

 

Young at heart, not at age.

Spread you vibes, go for it... I think most people on these forums are spreading their vibes as it is already just by being themselves.

 

I'm loving the vibes... i think you got something going here

 

ya know what I would love to do?

Flashmobbing....

that sounds silly/fun

I fully agree with Pavel.

The way you're going about it seems extremely delusional and naive. You seem to have too much faith in people these days. Some people don't like having your beleifs pressed on them, whether you say you're forcing it or not; it still comes across that way.

You also have a George Bush attitude towards it: "If you're not with us, you're against us."

 

That sounds awesome!

 

Watch out Luke, calling a self-proclaimed hippie "George Bush" will lead to him poisoning you with an overdose of LSD.

 

Let's hope so.

 

i'm a marijuana and environmental activist. i wouldn't say i'm part of a revolution. i'm part of the solution.

 

Edit ...oh well dont go crazy on this then

all about following the travelin band
