I awoke to the alarm this morning and they were playing that song, "if you go to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair".  I can't remember who it was by, but it took me back in a flash.  I clearly remembered our sense purpose; our feelings of uniqueness.  We really believed that our idealism would create this wonderful world of the future.  We thought our way would lead to a world where the superficial and monetary were not as important as love.  Where peace would reign.  Boy, were we off the mark.  

It never occurred to us that the world would get scarier and less peaceful than ever.  That  there would be so much greed and competition; that there would be so much hate and so little love. 

I never thought I would know so many people not exercising their freedom of choice; that they would be OK living in the boxes created for them by society.

No wonder I've walked around all day with a feeling of disappointment.  What happened?
