RE: Locked or unlocked | Enslaved or un-enslaved
You put me in contact with these two and i'm not sure why. Both have tried to bring me down and they were not trying to have a logical debate with me whatsoever. I really don't wish to debate, I want to connect with like-minded people and lift each other up here.
I'm not proud of how I acted, and I just want those two to stop trying to ridicule me and tell me I don't know what i'm talking about. I have dedicated my life to studying Indigenous culture and society and I don't appreciate being told i'm full of shit.
We are a distinct people, we are First Nations, with our own culture, values, languages, history and laws that protect us and allow us to look after these lands that we have occupied for thousands of years. This does not apply to the non-Indignoeus and everyone wants to be Indigenous these days it seems, but we are a different culture from the rest and you can't just call yourself Indigenous because you want to and base this on your own ignorance and misunderstanding.
Thank you for your apology.
I see us all as indigenous earth inhabitants rather than as localised and individual. Yes, there are good and bad but being human comes with faults and frailties, and the ability to learn from them. I have seen my fair share of humans at their best and worst and know first hand what some are capable of.
Wear your heritage like a badge of honour by all means, but don't allow the wrongs of the past to twist that proud heritage into the very wrongs committed against your people in the first place.
Anyway, for me respect is earned and rarely have I seen one who demands it acheive true respect. Still, I guess everyone is different and each human-journey is, by necessity, different.
Parting words, hmm...So many...I'm going to leave you with this...Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default. An ethos that has helped me live a life I can look on with pride and with no regret. It helps me order things accordingly, to take ownership and to show humility, kindness and be humble; All strengths that allow me to move forward with confidence.
Peace.

'demanding respect' is indicative of an extreme narcissistic personalty type - as is the response after the tirade.
Very standard behavior when control is deemed to have been 'taken away'. (i.e questioning the
post)
Yep, I agree.
