Film Reveals Pain Apart From Christ

As you read this Bangor Daily News opinion piece, and we encourage you to do so, keep in mind what is missing from the hippie ethic that is described.  Christianity, or any religion other than Buddhism, is not mentioned.  


The author, Jory Squibb, describes himself as a "recovering hippie", and criticizes hippie parenting for its rootlessness.  Yet he consistently implies a deeper concern.  We suggest the real concern is the soullessness that is found apart from our Lord, Jesus Christ.  

The pain and suffering experienced by both the subjects of this documentary, and by Squibb, might be as simple, and as difficult, as accepting Christ as their Savior, and then living accordingly.

Hippie parenting is a 1960s case study

"'Surfwise,' a documentary of the Paskowitz family [is about] two dropout adults and their nine children raised in the ’60s and ’70s in a camping van...

"So this film begins with the 80-year-old Doc Paskowitz restating the truths so many of us swallowed whole in that amazing era: Society is basically bad. Money is bad. Animal behavior is good and to be imitated. Uninhibited sex is transformative. Dropping out is the solution.

"... nevertheless Doc’s choices, as parenting, were disasters."
