Hey Hippie… Don't make war, make love! Love, Freedom and Peace …
When hippie is mentioned, a word of hope is always whispered in our ear. A rainbow of hope-spreading flowers is laid before us. Someone hums a song, someone reads a poem in the corner, the other shows the whole world what fashion is with their clothes. To understand them, it is necessary to erase the line between looking and seeing. Maybe you have to be hipster to understand them....
Recently they have returned to us again. We're starting to see more bearded men, those who wear thick-rimmed bone glasses, those with triangle tattoos, vintage shops, espadrilles, checkered shirts, and those with messy hair. This is not a surprise. This didn't happen all at once. On the contrary, it was formed by the blending of many cultures.
So, what is this Hippie culture?
Let's go back to the 1960s. To the years when the hippie generation began to show itself… Everyone has heard the slogan “Don't make war, make love”. In fact, almost everyone has voiced this slogan once in their life. Even if you didn't say it, it's on the tip of your tongue right now; we seem to hear you...
Hippies express themselves quite clearly with the phrase “we don't need to fight, all we need is love”. Imagine a community that opposes restrictions, rejects everything, lives without thinking about the future, but is always against violence, war and massacres. They were not armed insurgents. They were passive resisters against weapons and war. They were a community that stood upright and gave advice without saying a word. Like a modern philosopher. …
They were called "Flower Child" for putting flowers into the barrels of the guns the soldiers pointed at them during the war protests. They were the voice of love, freedom and peace, so they still are…
Hippies actually taught the whole world that; “Another world is possible…”
Yes, there is always another world. And you don't need a ticket to enter that world.
Before we forget, we should also say that…
One way or another, maybe the Hippies were the ones who had already found the meaning of life…
Do you remember what Bob Dylan was saying?
“How does it feel to be on your own,
With no direction home,
Like a complete unknown,
Like a rolling stone?”
