It would take a book to write all the ways the best of the spirit of the 60s changed our world and I do think that spirit lives on. Maybe not in the large visible way it did then, but in the ways it changed our culture and society forever. When I talk with people not that much younger than me, they sometimes don't quite understand what went on then. Some of them recall it as only being a time of a grisy war, with unkempt drugged-out hippies and anarchy and don't see the larger beauty of how the ideals and dreams were so needed then and how many did materialize into reality.

Having an open-mind, rejecting conformity for the sake of conformity and social pressures, respecting the individual, finding your originality, appreciating differences and diversity, live and let live, love your sister and brother....
