What is a Hippie
"Freedom is Love about yourself. And, If you can't love yourself, You can't love others."
What is a Hippie
Can you feel it? That peacefulness, That cosiness. Where is there? Is there the Earth? Which society can reach to that seen in the Earth?
Forgot about Homo sapiens's words whatever what you hear about 'A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1885)'.
Yes, We know this. You can feel it. They are connected each other with deep understanding and regards. This is the utopia base on individualism.
That monkey means she is a prostitute woman. But, Nobody doesn't throw a stone to them such as like it never happened.
Now, I can show another photo.
Yes, This is another 'Sunday Afternoon'. You can see this photo is same with 'La Grande Jatte'
What can you see. Can you see 'Anti-War' or 'Peace' or 'Marijuana' or even 'Love' ?
Generally speaking, We can describe this photo like this. "Extreme pursuit about happiness of individual".
But, Happy is not scientific or objective word. So, I can describe this as 'Individualism. Nature, and Freedom'
These three words are so important. 'Individualism' is the key point of the human history after middle age. This word made us. This word rescued us in danger always. and We need this word always still each time when our dignity is in danger by something.
And, Freedom is the power of Individualism. These two words are fighting with all harmful things to us like socialism or uniformity or social customs or all the power.
And, Nature is a special thing to Hippie. Why they leave city. This is a rebel but more progressed and extreme.
We can't follow them. They pursuit free sax, and cross-ownership too. It was 1960's. We can't do like that photo. But, We have to know What they want to say.
You can say 'Peace and Love' easily. But, I am not a fan of John. and I think Morrison is more hippie than John. I am not saying to you are bad cause you said 'Love'. And You can say 'Peace' when you want. But, Two words are social word. It means you want something to others.
I would like to say, We have to take a look our life. We have to see ourselves first. Because, It will make our life rich.
I understand, Love is an easy word. Who can say 'Fuck'. I do not blame you. and 'Love' is a good word. I think Hippie's Love is close to 'Sex' or 'Joy of Life'. But, I guess John's Love is more Social. And, Someone's Love can close to Religion. And, Someone's Love is close to Affection. And All Love is not BAD.. And I think Hippies love you too.
But, 'Mercy' can't be a key of Buddha though It's needed in this world. That's a kind of grow naturally. Your Mercy can't be bigger though you say Mercy. This is a difference between Buddha and Jesus. Also, Hippies were close to Buddha than Jesus. So, Why have to so many people say 'Peace and Love' as a symbol of hippie.
'Freedom' is Love about yourself. And this is close to 'Buddha'. But, When you say Love with 'Peace', It means 'Love others'. But, If you can't love yourself, You can't love others.
So, I want to go with this three words cause I think this is a Hippie and I think this can progress our society too than any words.
And, If you understand this, If you can go with this, You can make 'Hippie Village France or LA city'
