Well News Flash there is no better or worse...no superior or inferior...
Different is the word to use instead.
You can't judge a culture based on your own. You can't say a tribe in the African Safari is inferior to you just because they don't do what you do...or what the majority does.
We have no right to do this because we don't know the motives and the fuel behind thier actions. We don't know the methods they chose to believe in...
We haven't lived in their shoes long enough to judge them one bit. How is that fair?
What we can do is say they are different...I don't want to be that way but they can. They will progress on their own scale...We can offer things that we think help but give them the choice. Don't say your better. Don't say your superior. Be helpful when the people want it.
What ever that culture decides to do is their choice. They chose to live that way. So I can't stop or hinder that.
I told this argument to one of my classes and another classmate asked me if a friend of my chose to commit suicide and I knew would I stop them?
I said of course I would. She then Pointed out the fact I just went against my own rule but in truth I didn't I said I would try to stop them but each person makes the choice to listen to another. I could talk to that person Till I'm blue in the face and It may not change their choice.
It's horrible to think of someone I know going there and I hope all my friends know they can talk to me if they get to that point. I don't want to think of not being able to help some one but some people won't listen. Some people can't see that path your trying to help them on. Either way I'll offer my hand to help someone else always.
