What do hippies wear? How do I be a hippy?

I think we need to ask ourselves. What is more fun, helping them or attacking them? I think we'll all realize that attacking them is just more enjoyable.

 

great way of putting it man

 

helping is way more enjoyable to me
helping,peace,love,compassion ...its what i live for...

 

helping is enjoyable, but so is attacking people at some times

also, you have to figure that theres already gonna be people who seriously answer the questions, so insult away

 

i being one of those people

 

thats good, the world needs more people like you

 

few, I was worried there for a minute... and you're right, at one point we were all like this I suppose... what's frustrating is 1) often the ppl who ask are kinda whiny about it, because in a way it sounds rather materialistic, and 2) the reaction is often bitter, like you said....

 

Yeah, like they don't know anything about it yet. They will learn after a while, but attacking them is like sending them to grade one, and when they don't know how to read well, the teacher yells at them. The people who have been here for years/live this lifestyle are the teachers for the newer people. It's important for you to share your wisdom with them and help them to understand who they are and such.

 

Seriously, I was never like that. Can anyone remember a post I've made in the time I've been here that was that immature? I was born a 17yr old hippy. For that matter, I can't ever remember some people being like that, dark(although a punk) was'nt really like that, not that I can remember. Some people like orsino are very young and still very mature.

 

not sure if i wear hippie style clothes, normally i am in a t-shirt, shorts, and barefoot.

 

Being a "hippy" isn't a process in my opinion. You can't dress someone in certain clothes, and you can't tell them how to think in order to be a "hippy". That would be like asking a "punk" how do I become a punk? What clothes do need to wear, What music do I need to like? Or a Christian, how do I become a Christian? What clothes should I not wear, what beleifs do I have to have? There is just so much more to it than that. Every label put on people is just that, it's a label. Even if there are young people out there who want to be "hippies", they still need to find their own way. I've never liked labels, and I've never fit into just one spot. I'm constantly building, and changing, and learning, and letting go, it's part of life. No one told me how to be a hippy, if that's what I am at this point in my life, when I went through my "punk phase" no one told me how to do that either. I've always searched for myself, and fortunately it has led me down a path full of like-mided people. That's really what it all boils down too, in my opinion.

 

uhhhh fuck the bullshit

HAIRZ!

its a state of mind people, free your mind, not your clothes. i know alotta people who i would consider hippies who other people wouldnt recognize them as hippies in a million years, its all in your head, not at the department store sale people, get it together!!!

 

damn straight

 

That's the point I was trying to make, sorry I wasn't more clear.

 

hairz!!!
