“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men, we didn’t have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. Without a prison, there can be no delinquents.
We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves. When someone was so poor that he couldn’t afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.
We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property. We didn’t know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth.
We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.
We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don’t know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.”
— John (Fire) Lame Deer.
What is in One is in the Whole, and therefore, ultimately, each Soul is responsible for the whole world.
~Gary Zukav

The path less travelled is less travelled for a reason - it requires courage to march to the beat of a different drum. Sometimes it can be a lonely trek - because very few will understand why you don't walk the popular well-trodden path like everybody else. But you know you can't. Your heart won't let you. You must be true to yourself. And your regrets will be few. For at the end of your life you will look back at your short journey and with a satified smile, quietly acknowledge that it could never have been any other way. ~ Daniel Nielsen
