    When I was on school I didn’t understand the quote of that one native American, that said we borrow the planet from our children.

    That’s actually a powerful quote. Yet so many seem to look after exactly one thing: gain more money at any cost.

    This downward spiral is hard to take for me. But I try my best to do the right thing as much as I am able to. But I’m also limited.

      7 generations. Everything we do should be with the understanding of what it will do for 7 generations later.
