一百多年前西雅圖酋長Chief Seattle （1786~1866）看到的世界是這個樣子：
在我的人民心中，這土地的每個部分都是神聖的，
每一片山坡、每一個谷地、每一塊平原和每一叢樹林，
都因早已湮滅的歲月所發生過的悲喜事件而成為聖地，
甚至石塊，在太陽下呆滯地躺在沈靜的海邊，
也充滿了與人民生活有關的生動回憶。
兩三百年來西方文明努力把各式異教神靈掃進垃圾桶，連帶地上帝也被打入冷宮，如今全球擁有最多信眾、統御大地最強大的神祇叫做「錢」。於是世界變成這個樣子：
在我的經濟學眼中，這土地的每個部分都是值錢的，
每一片山坡、每一個谷地、每一塊平原和每一叢樹林，
只要適當開發、規劃、利用都可以帶來繁榮，
甚至石塊，也能拿來蓋屋鋪路而賣到好價錢，
土地年年增值創造了無比美好的回憶。
這兩種世界觀孰優孰劣，難以判斷。現代生活有現代生活的便利，古代有古代的美好。兩者要做出精確的比較而定出絕對價值勢必徒勞。我只知道看著巨木在鏈鋸下轟然倒地跟看見人被車撞倒一樣，會有一條神經被撕裂的感覺。樹會死、鳥會亡、物種會絕跡，這是生命的必然律動，一棵樹就算沒人砍有一天也會自行躺下。我難過的是：金錢逐漸統治大地之後，放眼望去世界就只剩下鈔票數字，美好的數字，更大的數字，更多的數字。那顆在陽光中抖顫的露珠，再也無法化為精靈；晨霧再也無法帶來仙子，連花香都無法令人駐足深吮。大自然無足輕重，再也無法吸引人們，我為此哀傷。

The world in the eye of Chief Seattle (1786~1866) a century ago is like this:
In my people’s mind, each part of this land is holy,
Each slope, each valley, each plain and each bush,
They all become holy land because of sorrow and joy happened in the time long vanishing,
Even the rocks, dumbly lie by the quiet sea under the sun,
They are also full of vivid memories relating to people’s life.
In the past two to three hundreds years, the Western civilization has made the best effort to sweep all pagan deities into garbage can and consequently God is also put into the dog house. Nowadays in the world the god who has the most followers and the most strength over the land is called “money.” As a result, the world is changed like this:
In my eye of economics, each part of this land is worthy of money,
Each slope, each valley, each plain and each bush,
So long as properly developed, planned and used, they all could bring prosperity,
Even the rocks, they could be sold at good price for road paving and house building,
Year after year, the land increases its value and thus creates wonderful memories.
It is very difficult to judge which one is better than other from the two types of world. Modern life has its own convenience and advantage while ancient life has its own, too. If we must make precise comparison between the two and thus decide an absolute value, it is for sure to be in vein. I only know that seeing the giant woods put down by chain saw is exactly equal to seeing someone hit by car, which produces a feeling that the nerve is torn apart. Tree will wither, bird will die, species will become extinct, and all are the essential fate of life. A tree without hewed by human beings will wither and lie down eventually. What makes me feel so sad is that after money gradually rules over the land, all we see is figures on bills, pretty numbers, bigger figures, and more numbers. The dewdrop quivering in sunshine can no longer become a fairy; the misty frog in the morning cannot bring genie anymore, even the floral fragment cannot make them stay for a sip. The Nature is a matter of no consequence, in which on longer attracts people. I feel sad about this.
