well, we all have our faults and little ticks that make us who we are. it's really impossible to not dislike anything (and i'm not using hate because hate is too strong of a word). i wouldn't even believe it if someone came up to me and said that they didn't dislike anything about anyone. If they did they are lying! haha.
i dont think hate makes you less of a hippie, If anything does asking wether or not ur a hippie does. Being a hippie is about being what you are no and it's ok even if others dont share the same ideas. It's also about peace and love and drugs and rock and roll and bucking the establishment which are the best parts
haha i disagree... "Being a hippie is about being what you are no and it's ok even if others dont share the same ideas." that part hits the nail on the head in my opinion... and if to you that also means "It's also about peace and love and drugs and rock and roll and bucking the establishment which are the best parts" then its fine(although dont get to deep into drugs.. seriously)... but you dont have to be into drugs, or rock and roll, or fighting the establishment.. or wearing tie die and peace signs for that matter... none of that stuff matters. its just about being yourself. i dont think shes less of a hippie for asking whether or not it makes you a hippie.. it was an innocent question coming from someone who obviously likes the idea of being a hippie which is perfectly cool.. whether or not she even understands it as well as some of us do yet... although what you said brings me to a point vegout, the point being that she shouldnt be taking the label hippie to seriously.. i dont mean that like im telling you what you should and shouldnt do fanofloyd, im just telling you that even if you think the word hippie applies to you or that the hippie scene is cool.. you shouldnt feel obligated to conform to any label like "hippie".. its all about being you and being happy with who you are inside and out... because when you turn "hippie" into a label like that you start worry if you conform to it properly or not.. and you just dont need to worry about it we love you for whoever you are fanofloyd and we want you to love yourself for it too, and thats all its really about.... ...and from a more shallow standpoint you could technically say it is about counterculture, revolution, music, certain types of drug use, timothy leary like crap, dropping out of society, etc...... but i mean that shits not important unless its important to you, but no one should ever make you feel like you have to conform to that, you should never feel like being yourself makes you less of a hippie and that their is anything wrong with who you are. i mean of course i believe hate is wrong and i try not to hate, but you dont sound like a hateful person you seem like a nice person to me fanoffloyd, im sure if your hating someone or something its perfectly fine.. its normal for everyone to experience every emotion both the negative and the postitive at some point in their life. its perfectly healthy to hate something, to love something, to be happy sometimes, and also angry other times. ignorant and irrational hate is wrong, and as long as you try your best to be a good person, you shouldnt worry about anything else... like ive been saying just be yourself and love yourself for who you are, and anyone who doesnt except you or love you for who you are isnt worth caring about... so dont worry if you fit the "hippie" stereotype or not... just be yourself its all good girl.
Hate is a very human emotion...it is OK to have a strong dislike of something/someone as long as it does not consume you and force you to do cruel things. Peace and Love
