Re: "Disruption works" N.P Martin June 1

... Would all the land, and all the money in the world change anything for native people? Would they learn self-respect, and respect for each other? Would they no longer be a people always needing help, and become a people who help others?
... The answer, respectfully, is no.
... It is an easy excuse to sit back and blame others for one's state in life, or to believe the timeless delusion that money and material possessions will bring fulfillment and happiness.
... Our lives gain meaning and value when we shift from a childish concern with what we can get from life, to embracing the personal discipline required to cultivate our gifts to help others...
