    If you watch documentary's as I often do, when it comes to the philosophy of most of the Indigenous People around the world, I question, have we really learnt to live as one with the earth, the great provider?
    Has so called progress enhanced our well being, or divided the world more?
    In a world that relies on technology to function, are we any safer, or are we now, just able to destroy each other quicker?

    Here's the Native American - ten Commandments......I came across.

    1, Treat the earth and all that dwell therein with respect.
    2, Remain close to the Great Spirit.
    3, Show great respect for your fellow beings.
    4, Work together for the benefit of all mankind.
    5, Give assistance and kindness wherever needed.
    6, Do what you know is right.
    7, Look after the well being of mind and body.
    8, Dedicate a share of your efforts to the greater good.
    9, Be truthful and honest at all times.
    10, Take full responsibility for your actions.

    With my hopes for a return to a caring World....... JB
