On one island in the middle of the devastating 2006 tsunami, everybody survived. The Moken people knew the signs from old tales, though they kids took some convincing to flee.
The Moken people are interesting. They have no words for "nude", "when", "want", or "worry".
Interesting. Should visit that place sometimes. (Maybe organise the Eolake Blog Commenters Bash there?)

I bet they don't have a word for "freedom" either.
In fact, you could even philosophize that in order to be truely free you'd need to enter a state of being where you no longer understand the meaning of the word 'free'.
I think you're right.
ReplyDeleteOf course that might also be reached by total entrapment with no hope.
