Food for thought

Something is wrong.  When we live with our spirits, we become more like them.  They dance.  We dance. They steal and rape women.  We steal and rape women.  They fight and kill.  We fight and kill.  But these white men don’t do what they say their spirit does.  They say he’s generous.  But they’re not.  They say he’s kind.  But they’re not.

The above quote is taken from Spirit of the Rainforest, by Mark Andrew Ritchie.  The person speaking is a Yanomamo from the Amazon reflecting on his experiences with white foreigners.  You can find out more about the book under “On my book table” at the top of this page.
