Ha, yeah, it's kind of difficult to pick out voice inflections through text.

Read "All Men Are Mortal" --by Simone De Bovior (sp?)--it will help you round out your existential perspective. It is a great read. A climber friend of mine from Germany gave me a copy because it is her favorite book.

Being a hippie could be a bad thing to be if he/she does not shower or work. The other drawback could be drug addiction--how many real hippies could be so peace loving and laid back if they were not high or drinking or tripping most of the time?

When I was a hippie--I did shower and have a job--so that part can be done.

I have occasionally met some hippies who are not constantly altered by substances, but this is rare.

A good book about hippie communes is "Drop City"--check it out.

Am I the only one here amused by the original post concerning sense of self and abandonment of ego and then not 3 short pages later how OP is embracing the "hippie" label as some sort of positive indicator of spirituality?

'hippie' is a historical term. since it is not the 1960's anymore, there are no more 'hippies'.

but let's take a step back--what's with the labeling in the first place? a human being is probably the most complicated thing in the universe, so be careful when you are tempted to categorize one.

there is no such thing as a 'crazy person', but some people do crazy things.
there are no 'climbers', but some people climb things....a lot
there are no 'assholes', but some people do asshole things.

et cetera.
