    I personally feel I was born with a hippie soul, I was born a generally peaceful person who loves nature and would love for everyone and everything to get along and live peacefully among eachother. Every since I was a youngin' I grasped these ideas, but growing up in a hostile enviroment and constantly trying to be the peace maker in every situtation has turned me bitter in some aspects, but in the hardest and most F-d up situations I still see my positive ideas and out looks on life always trying to shine through and make better of every situation, I just have to be willing to let it...Now saying that my family did NOT share the same outlook on life as I do, I didn't even know I was considered to have a hippie soul middle school when kids would call me a "hippie" or teachers would call me a "modern day hippie" ...and hey if the shoe fits wear it!

    What I am asking every one is...do you think people are born hippies or do you think they learn from there enviroment and family..? Anybody want to share there story??

    I believe that everyone has a little bit of hippie in him.
    Being peace loving is way easier then dragging along a constant hate.
    But some people do not have to power to form their own personality, and our society isn't really the utopia of love and peace.

    For myself, i have been raised by care taking open minded parents, i had never been into the mainstream stuff alot, at first i was like the radical anarchist dude that just did what he liked and wanted to overthrow the government. But again i have changed and see that changing the world to your utopia can only be achieved if you behave to the ideas of that utopia, and that is how i gained great respect for hippies and try to life their ideals :).

    i think my beliefs were shaped by the personal relationships i formed throughout my life, even though some of my family is made up of very angry, violent people, i know they r really just hiding their soft hippy heart made up of ice cream... even though i believe i was born a hippy, i have to say i really became one tossing the frisbee outside in my front yard with my friends waiting for the pot, it wasnt even the weed it was just the time spent around it...kinda went off on a tangent there, but i think being a hippy is sorta like wandering into the woods at night, and finding that warm campfire with everybody around it singing and playing the guitar
