Yesterday I came back home after a dinner with some friends and I was lokoing for the news on TV. Skipping channels I found Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.
I can’t recall how many times I’ve read the book, and I had already watched the film when it was released. But I wasn’t interested in the news on TV anymore. I had to rewatch the film and let history move me, deeply.
If you haven’t watched the film or read the book yet, what are you waiting for?
I find these words of great help in everyday life and I shall always keep them in mind.
The Seven Teachings
Honesty (Sasquach) – to achieve honesty within yourself to recognize who and what you are do this and you can be honest with all others
Humility (Wolf) – humble yourself and recognize that no matter how much you think you know, you know very little of all the universe
Truth (Turtle) – to learn truth, to live with truth and to walk with truth, to speak truth
Wisdom (Beaver) – to have wisdom is to know the difference between good and bad and to know the result of your actions
Love (Eagle) – unconditional love to know that when people are weak they need your love the most, that your love is given freely and you cannot put conditions on it or your love is not true
Respect (Buffalo) – respect others, their beliefs and respect yourself. If you cannot show respect you cannot expect respect to be given
Bravery (Bear) – to be brave is to do something right even if you know it’s going to hurt you
