My best inheritance from my father was, “you have a smart father and a smart mother, you figure it out.” Most of the time he was bragging himself up a bit but kids take things literally. So that meant I was smart and could figure it out.
Todays kids and ethnics are told, “you are too damn dumb to take care of your self.” and they take it literally.
If to that was added “an even wiser God who will lead your way” that would have been the signpost to true success. As it is, I can well tell how figuring it all out myself only led me down a rabbit hole.
American Indians are doing what American Indians have always been customarily doing, except that they can’t even be nomads anymore. If they kept on moving around, they would have to forever accommodate themselves to new surroundings. Sitting around on a reservation doubtless makes them b-o-r-e-d. The one grace of God that they had which kept their interest up, was taken from them, and none has replaced it. Why do you think they dream of happy hunting grounds in heaven? Because they were hunters by nature.
