- You could learn a lot from Inuit spirituality

Dear President Trump,

I am writing this even though there is not much loving to say about you.

Dear President Trump,

I am writing this even though there is not much loving to say about you.

These days you are depriving countless people their freedom, their sleep, their peace and the basic normality of their everyday life. You do this through the use of force that has long since exceeded limits of reasonableness.

You recently took control of Venezuela and theirs leader, and now you have been talking about my country for a long time as if it were a commodity placed on a shelf in a Target -supermarket.

It is probably our nature that fascinates you the most. You talk about geopolitics and the security of your country, but I know that deep down you want to more than that.

Your greed and ego have taken over your entire system. That makes me genuinely sad to witness. Because when greed gets such a big one hold of a person, it becomes difficult to change the world view that person has created.

See — you could learn a lot from Inuit spirituality. The people of Greenland have mastered the values ​​and the understanding of life that the Inuit religion contains. We have learned that we do not own nature. Nature is our master. It is not humans against nature as you seem to think. It is not something that can be "annexed". It is something you have to respect and live in balance with. When you show respect to nature, it gives back twice as much.

We hunt with humility and harmony and take only what we need to survive.

We respect and take into account everything that has life: nature, the weather, the sea, the animals and the sky. It is called Inua.

Individual heroics don't happen in a blizzard. Sharing food, skills and care is non-negotiable. Generosity is social capital; hoarding is a system error.

The Arctic country is a country that either creates balance or destroying the rest of the world. It is the center of the globe. It solely depends of how it is treated.

We in Greenland are fully aware that you probably will never master the above.

That is precisely why we are the best suited to take care of this country and its vast surroundings.

So even if you try to "annex" Greenland, it will ultimately be only yourself, your descendants, and your own people—the ones you claim to protect— who will pay the price.

Sincerely,

Pipaluk Kleemann, Nuuk, Greenland
