The Bill Hicks Philosophy of Love

I have great admiration for the man.
He was a modern prophet.





















As no amount of laws passed seem to prevent peoples love of freedom, nor squelch their
curiosity, nor their basic humanity, we would do better to look through
the eyes of love and compassion, rather than condemnation and fear.
Drug abusers are not criminals in my minds eye. At worst, they
are just sick, and I know of no jail that has ever healed anyone.
I ascribe to a philosophy of Gentle Anarchy. I believe people are
inherently GOOD, and left to their own devices with the free
exchange of ideas and information; a joyful lightness would spread
across the face of our our world.
I am aware there are many people who do not feel this way. This
is why I figured out a way to make everyone happy, while also further-
ing the idea of Freedom. Here it is: for those people who think
smoking, drugs, abortion, and prostitution should be legal and avail-
able; make them legal and available. And for those people who
think smoking, drugs, abortion, and prostitution should NOT be
legal and available; they're not, they never were, don't worry, we're
cracking down. There. That way, the world would remain exactly as
it is now, only without the onus of guilt, shame, and legality.
Does this mean I am suggesting people smoke, take drugs, get
abortions, or go to prostitutes?
No.
I recommend you do what you want to do, which is what you're going to do anyway.
I am merely suggesting we accept life on life's terms instead of drowning in a
quagmire of niggling SHOULDS and SHOULDNTS which have
done NOTHING to free our spirits from the cloud of guilt and
shame that shrouds this planet.
Again; forgiveness rather than condemnation, compassion rather than judgement, and love rather than fear.
And keep in mind, this radical philosophy is coming from me; an avowed misanthrope. If I can feel this way, surely there is hope for us all.
Have we learned anything from all this?
I have.
The next time I tour the UK, I'm not going to tell the audience I
quit smoking. I'm going to tell them I quit fucking, just to see what
they throw at me then. I look forward to seeing you.





There have been numerous people who have pushed this simple message throughout history, the majority of religions are founded upon the same basic principles..

Do unto others and what not....
Is God a bearded robe wearing mofo who is indeed behind the United States of Blow the shit out of sandy oil rich countries or is God love?
