BE:
This cannot be said often enough. Everyone is embedded
is his of her own culture. We can only recognize what that
culture does to us by putting ourselves into another' s mind.

We can start by recognizing there is no evil. Every person,
and every culture, believes they are good. The street gang,
the Taliban, the Christian and the Islamist fundamentalist do
what they believe is good. They all live within their belief
system. Once we understand why they do what they do,
we can start understanding why we do what we do.

The EuroAmerican cultural systems have a long history of
development. The "dominator paradigm" has grown from
the days of the Old Bible to the days of the current
bible of ecibinuc self-interest, competition, and materialism..
These cultural assumptions are leading toward the end of the
human species.

We need a deep fundamental cultural change.

KEEP UP YOU GOOD WORKS
