Why is that to be viewed as "normal", you must always have urgent and pressing matters on hand, never having enough time, and generally rushing through life?

Is that why we view hippies negatively, because they enjoy the freedom and wont to be calm, serene, and flowing in their everday affairs/arguments/beliefs.

Another word that pops into my mind is "Zen", while here in the western world it is viewed half-and-half as opening one's mind to the possibilities or just fanciful laziness.

I do not see it as a healthy habit for our society to categorize, label, and judge others accordingly in an effort to elevate our own status as superiors.


Mind your own damn business! Live and let die.
