This is just my opinion, and everyone is entitled to state their own thoughts on the subject. I suddenly think that I realise what a hippie is. It's got nothing to do with long hair, peace signs, bright colors, all of that physical stuff. (Don't get me wrong, I'm all for those things) But I feel that a hippie is "hip", meaning aware. Aware of the world and whats happening in it. Hip to the world, man. Hip to the fact that killing animals for food is cruel and needless because we don't need to eat them to survive/use their furs anymore(unless you live somewhere that has no jackets), hip to the fact that war is just fucking stupid and killing for peace makes no sense, hip to the fact that the earth is dying, and that we need to do something about it, hip to the idea that marijuana, lsd, and certain other drugs can expand your mind, give you many different points of view on subjects, and free you of inhibition(though sometimes we need a little voice telling us what to avoid), etc. What do you think? Again, I get a lot of shit from people on here for being young and naive, while I just want your thoughts on the subject.
Very well said i relaised today that i'm feeling happier and happier and more understanding to the world you know. Don't know why but my mind is like expanding and that what sure is hip
Exactly. You couldn't have said it any better Those are my thoughts completely! Just recently, I too, have become a more happy and open person. My mom tells me I turned into a barefoot hippie over night lol
