Think of all your boring upbringing, your accepted ideas, your mediocre desires, ambitions for what your life style should be, your hopes to buy a house, a flat, a girl friend a boyfriend a child, a car, a TV, a career. We have less to escape from, no religion, less sexism, more hope for jobs for women, more equality for rich and poor, males and females, black and white, and we are still tied to so much, we are still uncritical of our ideas of what we want, what we should want and how we are going to live. Give up your nonsense cosy ideas, your safe little ways of thinking about your dull emotions, ways of categorising life in to a new wishy washy not even religion religion. May be the only way of doing something different to know that you are doing something different is to have sex with many people, to live in a car, under a bridge, to take lots of drugs, to be extreme. This is why the Beat people were good, this is why happenings happened…. But what happens now? Where are the people who can think differently. Do differently. Life has to be more, what rubbish we live with. Even if she was fighting more obvious horrors they are only obvious now they have been rejected by so many. Perhaps the answer is to look at all the things we want and do the opposite and go out of our way to do the opposite. Read this book and realise how limited you are.
