Rules For Indians (or anyone else who was Born To Run) How To Survive: Rule No. 7

7.  Accept the fact that you have no place here. So.., win by losing!

     Many people of all stations of this society bang their heads against a brick wall of respectability and acceptance. Thoureau's quote of "most men live lives of quiet desparation" is truer today than when he first wrote it. Just observe, do not listen to what people say, watch what they do. Especially the ones who put on a show of having it all. You will most likely notice how unhappy they are even though they own a house, have a spouse, children, a dog or whatever else the American Dream dishonestly promotes. If you are subversive enough to befriend some of these people, you will see the real life and it's never pretty. Facts are suicide rates go up, as do drug and alcohol abuse as we take a look at the higher socioeconomic population. The attempt to find satisfaction in such things as they have has brought a crushing disillusionment to them from which they have no escape. Trapped in debt, careers they hate and with spouses they would divorce if they had an easy way, are among the things you would see if you could be a fly on their wall.  Just enough security and comfort for their own true dissatisfaction to run rampant.   So..., Win by losing, accept that not only is there not a place for you here(why would you want it anyway?), do what anyone would do in your situation: Make a place! The world is a big place, much of it sparsely populated by modern humans, so, build your own home, build your own life away from all the chaos of the modern world. If you have the older tribal members left, learn ways that you have forgotten about living off the land, our language, our religion and spiritualism and all the values which you have which you have never really had a lot of direct contact with. So, surrender any hopes and dreams you had of fitting in, of succeeding in a game with no winner. Make your own place, your own life and reinvigorate all the vibrancy of a culture that has been hidden from you but which you have the fragments inside to rebuild.

Give society the disrespect you would any brainwashed cult! Utterly beneath contempt for the intellectually and culturally free.

Your world, your values, your dreams, your definitions of morality and decency. The world may not be yours but the life god gave you is,...reclaim it!
