WHY WE SHOULD MODEL OUR MORALS AFTER THE NATIVE AMERICANS

NATIVE AMERICANS WERE BETTER PEOPLE THAN US. THAT'S THE PLAIN AND SIMPLE TRUTH! SORRY IF YOU'RE OFFENDED BY THAT, BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE!

The Native Americans had a set of commandments. I found them for the first time on Twitter, what would normally be a cultural wasteland, but on this particular day, i was presented with a gem! For everyone who doesn't know, here they are:

1. TREAT THE EARTH AND ALL THAT DWELL THERON 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 HUMANKIND

5. GIVE ASSISTANCE AND KINDNESS WHEREVER NEEDED 

6. DO WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE 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

WOW! Can you believe that we ran off, killed, and stole land from these people? This unique, caring, loving, kind, happy, respectful society was destroyed because a few Europeans decided that their wants were more important than human lives. Possibly one of the worst tragedies on Earth, in the history of mankind. A black spot on Europeans and newly pronounced "Americans". Manifest destiny we call it. This ridiculous over pursuit of more land, wealth, and material things. O how cruel  we can be to each other just because we think we are smarter. Europeans came over, and saw the way Native Americans lived, and denounced it as "primitive". Very similar to racism towards African-Americans in the 60's, we all know there is nothing scientific about it. Europeans may have been more advanced, because they brought guns, germs, and steel with them, but the Native Americans were satisfied with what they had. They had lived in our United States since the end of the last ice age when the land bridge was crossed. We just uprooted them for no reason.

NOT ONE OF YOU can tell me these aren't good, productive ways to live. The Native Americans found a way to live with the Earth, we have just found a way to destroy it. If we could get more people to consider these commandments, then we would live in a better place. My goal is to share knowledge. Knowledge of anything and everything that seems interesting to me. Share this with friends, family, whoever! Maybe we could change a few lives in the process!

MUCH LOVE
