At a rave, matter who you are, you feel a sense of "connectedness" with all those around you. Your energy becomes part of a greater circle of energy and love. You feel free to be who you have always wanted to be, because nobody is judging you. They're experiencing the exact same rush of happiness and when you leave the rave, you carry that free spirit and high energy out with you. You incorporate it into all facets of life, making things a little bit better.
I have become really close to nature. The world around us is just so beautiful. The variety of plants and animals living with us blows my mind. They are all coexisting in harmony, a feat humans have been unable to fully achieve. I find it really sad that congress does not share my feelings. Their new legislation is aimed at severely cutting back or eliminating most of the environmental laws we have for the sake of business. The Clean Water Act and many others are going to be toned down a lot if they get their way, making way for lots more pollution. All this for the capitalistic dream of earning more profit. It is sad.
Raves have allowed me to "touch base" with reality and humanity. Capitalism sucks. People are beautiful. People ought to tell other people that they are beautiful more often. The love and bonding experienced at raves needs to be carried out into the world. We are the visionaries, and it is our job to slowly change society. There was a women's movement, a sexual revolution, and many other giant steps made by previous generations. It is now time for the next revolution, the one back to realizing the beauty of humanity.
Help extend our experiences outside of the rave subculture. All it takes is a smile to start with, maybe a hug. LOVE!!! I'll begin by sending a warm, fuzzy, energetic loving hug to all of you. Share it with others!
