Hippie, Happy!

Almost to be forgotten, my junior high school was truly a time full of autism (you can say it "silly dreams"; I socialized well actually). I got my dream to be an european-turkey mafia's wife then. Another dream that hasn't been achieved is to be a left-handed writer. Another silly thing is to be a hippie. Yeay! A real hippie!

I don't really now what's so cool to be a hippie; I gues it's their free mind. Like Time stated "Do your own thing, wherever you have to do it and whenever you want. Drop out. Leave society as you have known it. Leave it utterly. Blow the mind of every straight person you can reach. Turn them on, if not to drugs, then to beauty, love, honesty, fun" Anyway, recognizing hippie as a counter-culture, almost every counter culture always attract my attention. For hippies, as they note themselves as seekers of meaning and values of life; their adoption of easterns ways; their healthy and back to nature living; their fashion, fancy colors, marijuanas, singings, and everything they choose, reflect their beauty of life phylosophy.

Living with nature (in one subject, my lecturer told me about bioregionalism, one -kind of ideology- behind this movement), and let the nature -which has its own mechanism- regulate itself, and you, as a part of the nature, just follow what they want. Believing that nature serves everything you need, and you should live close to them.

It draws us far enough to give us space to think how terrible our (and esp. MY) life now's been driven by consumtiveness and consumerism (of course they have their consumerism too, one about drugs, i.e.). Living back to nature, even, now is becoming (or has became) one way to spend your money. It's one of the product of consumerism. Corporates put a "healthy lifestyle" in our brain, of which its price, actually, has been manipulated unfairly compared with what nature actually serves for us.

One thing that interesting in their development, is the use of illegal drugs. It's non sense for me, while you're connecting trancedental conciousness with drugs. If you're realizing your relationship with life and other being, do it your self, conciously, not by using some extracted-from-nature-but-made-by-human-for-their-stupid-fellows shit. You're losing control then, therefore you betray the hippies way-of-life itself.

Finally. Talking about being a hippie seems to be remaining forever in my brain. In negative, I'd call myself "a coward choosing a safe life rather than exploring it with heart" for I -actually- have a very strong desire for freedom and another odds. It's allright, life's too short to be explored too much since we're young, isn't it? :P

Upon becoming a group movement, such a revolution ends up with imitators rather than participants...It is essentially a striving for realization of one's relationship to life and other people..." </i>
