steve Posted October 21, 2013 Timeless and colorless wisdom: The white man has given his soul to the preacher, his health to the doctors, his money to the bank, his decisions the the politicians, and his kids to the school, then he wonders why he feels weak; and that white man culture means working in jobs you hate, spending money you don't have, to buy things you don't need, feeling bad so you can look good, to impress people who could care less. --- Unknown Native American 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simple_Jack Posted October 21, 2013 Well.....Duh. (to be succinct) A different take on this comes from Mahayana Buddhism, where as part of the bodhisattva ideal, one is to broadly accumulate worldly knowledge to be of more benefit to sentient beings (i.e. math, science, literature, philosophy, farming, engineering, etc.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
