"Dávno před tím, než jsem slyšel o Kristovi nebo viděl bílého muže, jsem znal Boha. Věděl jsem, co je dobro. Viděl jsem a miloval to, co bylo opravdu krásné. Civilizace mě nic lepšího nenaučila."

.... za velmi pravdivý komentář. ČRozumný člověk v tom musí vidět hloubku, kterou evropani jen těžko pochopí a při tom v sobě skrývá smysl šťastného života. Takže ještě jednou díky.

Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men,
we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents.
Without a prison, there can be no delinquents.
We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.
When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket,
he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.
We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.
We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being
was not determined by his wealth.
We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians,
therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.
We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don't know
how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things
that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.
