In a front page story in today's (7/6/06) Wall St. Journal there is a lovely formulation.
The story is about the new Bolivian foreign minister, David Choquehuanca, an Aymara Indian, interesting in itself. But this paragraph tells of an interesting perspective: "But some diplomats say they find Mr. Choquehuanca to be a breath of fresh air. 'He's a very wise man,' says Francisco Carrion, Ecuador's foreign minister. He ways he was impressed when Mr. Choquehuanca talked about the difference between the Aymara concept of 'living well' and the Western concept of 'living better,' which implies competition and the subjugation of nature."
