live in the sixties

If you want to be free, be free, because there’s a million things to be.

-cat stevens

Emergence of hope, freedom of speech and thought, rebellions against the establishment…..

this is what the sixties represent to me-that is why I want to live in the sixties.

I love the colours, the images, the psychedelia, the music

All was new

All was vibrant

Feminism was on the rise as was free love

AND

Love was the way to peace….

The present materialistic world didn’t exist

They lived in the moment………….. or atleast they strived to do so

That is the place that I would like to be in

Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people sharing all the world

-john lennon

I like ideas about the breaking away or overthrowing of established order. I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road towards freedom - external freedom is a way to bring about internal freedom.

The shackles of the world we have around us need to be shed and the true self needs to emerge.

Being true to ones self is of utmost importance. Amongst other things that I read -I found this gem today…..” Don’t disappoint yourself”

Live true

Live honest

Be yourself

  2. Well, for one, today's is a very good blog. Although I did not expect you to be anti establishment :)
    Anyways...good to know.

    Thanks for the thought..its a good one to live by, In fact was thinking that just today...may be its all about our need for purpose and to do something exciting with our lives. The routine and mundane is so unispiring.

    Here's to brighter and freer futures.
    Take care
