Why? Why? Why?

I dont get it why just cant everyone get along and just go by the life style of a hippy-like I am and do. Dont you think the world would be such a better place to live in. There would be no war, crime, hate, judgement, Rascism, and so on. So if you want let me think what your opinion is about how the world would be if everybody body was more laid back down to earth.(HIPPY)

:sunny: Peace & love Everyone :sunny:​

 

Power-Mongers; they've always screwed it up.

 

I don't know. Is there any country that has ever tried?


You're in Chattanooga. Go down to the Yellow Deli and ask them to show you what it's like.

 

​

Well we can't get along because you want me to be just like you, and you want me to be a hippy and I don't want that. I don't want that lifestyle and I really don't like the word 'hippy'.
I am a peaceful person though.

 

It's nice to want the world to be peaceful and whatnot (no war, no hatred etc) but frankly i think the world would be a lot messier if everyone was a hippy.
Just out of curiosity, do u know a lot of hippies who are surgeons?

WISE WORDS

 

I will tell you the reason why and it is important for you and everyone else to understand this: THE CULTURAL EVOLUTION OF MANKIND HAS RESULTED IN THE ALL BUT UNIVERSAL INSANITY OF OUR SPECIES. By this I mean that the the healthy: unwarlike peoples throughout history have always failed, fallen, been defeated by war oriented peoples when confronted by such peoples. The different peoples that have proven themselves more effective in waging warfare always win against a healthy, peace oriented group of people.
It takes a culture that produces a significant number of young men or women that are capable of repressing the extremely strong self preservation instincts we all possess on some level to such a degree that they can take part in these deadly encounters and not run away. But to stand and fight at great risk to their individual survival. Now a certain amount of self defence is also instinctual. But to stand and fight when death or severe injury is all but certain requires a perversion of said self preservation instincts. This is a large part of what military training is all about.
Those cultures that promote such ideals and training win out against those that do not.
This is a VERY sad fact of life. The ancient Romans were very good at this stuff. The Nazi Germans are another good example. Those Nazis were only defeated because of a massive loss of life by the Russians. Those Russians were driven by an equally brutal regime, Stalinist Russia.
My point is this: mentally healthy people who live to enjoy life always fail when confronted by a mentally ill people devoted to warfare. Simple, obvious, self evident facts that the history of mankind is but a record of. There is PRIMAL THERAPY and it does offer some hope. ...Oscar

 

You are young and your dreams and desires are sweet and innocent. As you already have noticed that's not the way the world is. It has never been such a place but you are right in wishing it were a more peaceful and loving place. Your bio stuff says your are into hot glass as Art and that you are looking for an occupation. Art is a fine way to communicate with people so maybe thats what your occupation should be.

As Piaf noted she's not into the hippy lifestyle but just as you she values peace. Perhaps your job in life is to be a communicator talking to all the different flavors of people about the common theme of a peaceful, respectful world. That way you get to be who you want to be and have peace while drawing other people into the same dream while respecting them for who they are.

I think we all need to be flexible enough in our own mindset to respect our mutual differences while valuing a common goal of care and concern for each others well being.

 

The world would be much, much worse if everyone was the same. Not that they aren't already, but you want them to be the same as you.

 

I don't know, I'm mentally ill and I don't really like warfare...but what you say is true in history it seems whoever has the bigger guns so to speak wins. I see it as unfortunate but there is no denying thats the way the world is.

 

peace and love isnt a part of our culture.

 

Whose culture would that be?

 

american

 

Dear Paul, Peace and love is a part of our culture. In so many ways the BEST part. But, that part of our culture does depend upon others to protect them. I have been an active member in both of these aspects of our American culture and the peace and love faction is lot more fun than the military portion. Both are very important and one does not preclude the other. You can be a Marine, get out, and join in all the fun. I did just that. ...Oscar

 

It depends what do you mean by hippie... some are physically ex - hippies.... but a lot of them still have a hippie heart and spirit and with rests of hippie philosophy...and a lot listen to good old days hippie music in their appartment or in their house... you will find a lot who works in medical jobs... d

If you search a modern hippie with a beard...guru or a rasta man who is an "occidental" surgeon...so there you can wait a long time until you find...

 

I agree with you about wishing the world would be more peace/love oriented. Yet I don't think everyone should be the same. I don't really force my beliefs on anyone, though. I hear their point, I share my point, and if we don't have the same belief I am okay with that.
I would love for a "hippie" world, but realistically I don't think that will ever happen, mainly because of these reasons:
-Greed
-Ignorance
-Anger

If someone tends to be close-minded, they will not give peace and love a chance.
But we have ourselves and we have eachother, which is pretty sufficient in my book.
Peace and love to you too.

 

Because it is evolutionarilly unsustainable to be at peace with everything, people who have been ready to go to higher lenghts have alwaysw survived better than the peacefull ones. while evolution couldnt possibly have acted up in just about 200 000 years some behaviors have changed. another reason is that we humans are programmed to lust for power because that always has given higher survivability chances. we humans are also unhealthy because we are programmed to like fast energy like sugar and programmed to like fats and all that stuff because that has meant life and death since the dawn of mankind.
we are probably spontaniously racist because trusting others who are different often might have led to death.
but yes, i belive the world would be a much better place without modern-day consumerism, at least by my standards.
Peace.

 

Well, the obvious problem is: There are a very many very nasty people out there who insist on attacking [ as in killing ] those who don`t buy into their religion or hate you for being from a different country or are of a different race.
That is why. And people such as you need to realize this. You do NOT say peace and love to someone who hates and wants to kill you." The sad lamentable history of mankind "and all that. Paraphrasing Winston Churchill there. ...Oscar
