MITO Y REALIDAD - Mircea Eliade

" el mito es, pues, un elemento escencial de la civilizacion humana; lejos de ser una vana fabula, es, por el contrario, una realidad viviente a la que no se deja de recurrir; no es en modo alguno una teoria abstracta o un desfile de imagenes, sino una verdadera codificacion de la religion primitiva y de la sabiduria practica(...). Todos estos relatos son para los indigenas la expresion de una realidad original, mayor y nos llena de sentido que la actual, y que determina la vida inmediata, las actividaes y los destinos de la humanidad..." (pag. 26 - 27)

"TREE CUPS OF TEA" Greg Mortenson

"...he taught me, he taught all of us, that if you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything..."

"...we breathed an air of utter satisfaction, of etternal peace, "he continued. "All this gives rice to a question. Isn't better to live in ignorance of everything - asphalt and macadam, vehicles, telephones, television - to live in bliss without knowwing it?..." Maraini on 1958 when she went to Balti.

"...I used to assume that the direction of the "progress" was somehow inevitable, not to be questioned, "she writes. "I passively accepted a new road through the middle of the park, a steel and glass bank where a 200 - year old church had stood.... and the fact that life seemed to get harder and faster witch each day. I do not anymore. In Ladakh I have learned that there is more than one path into the future and I have the privilege to witness another, saner, way of life a pattern of existence based on the coevolution between human beings and the earth". Norberg - Hodge continues to argue not only that Western development workers should not blindly impose modern "improvements" on ancient cultures, but that industrialized contries had lessons to learn from people like Ladakhis about building sustainable societies. "I have seen, " she writes, "that community and a close relationship with the land can enrich human life beyond all comparison with material wealth or technological sophistication. I have learned that another way is possible..." Norberg Hodge
