My car. My idea. My partner.
Language is always part of culture. The culture we grow up in has influence on how we see the world. Can you imagine not having a word that tells what is “yours”?
Sounds not possible?
The Wet’suwet’ten - the First Nations people who live in the northwestern Central Interior of British Columbia, don’t use possessive pronouns.
I don’t say we have to change our language but I will try to distant myself from the “need to possess”.
How do you see it? I would love it if you would like to share your thoughts with us! <3 #sharingiscaring
