The terms peace loving , or hippie were once used to tease, ostracize and even bully those whose passions and interests were not understood. But instead of lashing out, people who care developed a counter-culture of intelligence, imagination, mutual respect and fun. Natural peace within America . No matter who you are or how you look .
Today when we think of Peace we think of science, natural foods , loving with care , music , fashion , etc. there are different types of hippies . There are hippies that look like a regular person wearing sneakers with a baseball cap . It means no more bullying . no more racist identifications .
You don't have to be a hippie . Be yourself .
It's time we recognized the values, accomplishments and societal contributions of these extraordinary Americans .
