all the kids are posting in the old hippy forum. But that's alright, just remember not to trust anyone over 40, except yourself when (and if) you get that old.
I've been past 40 for a long time.We used to say don't trust anyone over 30,now I say don't trust anyone under 30,lmao.
Which amounts to very little! And certainly doesn't include his famous slogan you are using as a sig.
<grins> I'm with you there budz From what I've heard: The younguns come in here because they get a bad time in the young hippies forums. We older hippies don't flame one another on the norm'. Not that it doesnt happen, just not as often. and not to the extent that is in the YH forums. We all learn and grow in our on time and in our own way. Lifes lessons come weather we like it or not. At any rate, we oldies have lessons still to be learned and we can learn things about ourselve from youngers. It freshens the air, and gives us something to do....lol.. LOVE LOVE LOVE
In 1962 Leary was introduced to LSD for the first time by Michael Hollingshead. He had what he later described as "the most shattering experience of his life". Leary became a spokesman for LSD and the psychedelic movement, encouraging people to "tune in, turn on, and drop out". In 1963, he and Richard Alpert were fired from their positions at Harvard after which they both lived at Millbrook for a time. At Milbrook they continued to work with psychedelics both therapeutically and recreationally. Timothy Leary was not 40 in 1962.
btw, thx shameless for answering my question, it sounds about right, and as far as not trusting anyone over 40 you can start trusting them again when their over 50!
That's exactly how I see it. I think that when you ask a question or something in the old hippie forum it's taken much more seriously than elsewhere. They all seem to genuinely care and offer such great advice. We have plenty to learn from each other, just like Shameless said. Do you only speak to old hippies in real life, or do you talk to younger ones as well?? Same concept here I guess.
I Am Only 19 However I Feel Like I Get Taken More Seriously When Thaking With Some One Who Has Alredy Been Through The Stuff I Am Just Now Going Though In My Life. And I Think That Older People Can Lear A Lot From The Younger Generation. Why Cant We All Learn From Each Other?
As I recall it was "don't trust anyone over 30!" I lived by that and the 30 plusers I knew were, to say the least, square. Now 30 seems so young and nieve. I think we have been successful as a society in glorifying youth and many (not all) young people are reluctant to grow up. I'm not saying this is good or bad, simply stating my observations. IRL I tend to hang with the young, and find few over 50 I can trust. Most of those I know have grown bitter, or materialistic with age. (I hope no one takes this personally, I'm really speaking of the majority of those I see around me in real life.) I do agree with shameless_heifer that those younguns that like to hang in the "old hippie's" forum are here to find the acceptance and love that the "old hippies" here seem to embody so well. I love you guys!
