I love the Native American spirituality myself. Western values going massively toward materialism (to fill emptiness), selfishness, greed, financial wealth, diversion, entertainment, image, status, vainglory, dishonesty, disingenuousness, know-it-all crap, cocksure BS, rudeness, gratification. Not a good list. Of course that is the mainstream but not the whole story. A big undercurrent against that grain is present and rising.
I love humility over arrogance or showiness or trash talking. Above all, valuing living from and realizing the true self as opposed to all these forms of mask projections, and respecting and aiding that path in others. Easier said than done, for sure. There's is a reason that masks are ubiquitous, universal. Yet we can tack against that even in ourselves. A good value. The ultimate value of humanism, I think.
