Ecuador History
Jun 7th, 2010 by Gary
Ecuador’s history unites ancient ways with the modern world.
The message today at www.garyascott.com about war on four fronts examines a growing socio/economic problems that will benefit places like Smalltown USA and other places like Ecuador.
Why Ecuador?
Ecuador’s history is one answer. I am always surprised at how events that took places centuries ago affect life today.
For example…growing up in Oregon… I was totally unaware of the impact that the war between the southern and northern states of so many years ago still had on today. Then I married a Georgia Peach and spending time in Merri’s hometown of Macon, I saw that many people from Georgia did not always believe that the war was civil. “The War of Northern Aggression” might be a more used description… “War Between the States” maybe politically acceptable… even today.
The threads of history bind our present today.
With that thought read this quote from Don Mancio Serra de Leguisamo — the last survivor of the original conquerors of Peru (Cuzco, 1589)
“We found these kingdoms in such good order, and the said Incas governed them in such wise [manner] that throughout them there was not a thief, nor a vicious man, nor an adulteress, nor was a bad woman admitted among them, nor were there immoral people. The men had honest and useful occupations. The lands, forests, mines, pastures, houses and all kinds of products were regulated and distributed in such sort that each one knew his property without any other person seizing it or occupying it, nor were there law suits respecting it… the motive which obliges me to make this statement is the discharge of my conscience, as I find myself guilty. For we have destroyed by our evil example, the people who had such a government as was enjoyed by these natives. They were so free from the committal of crimes or excesses, as well men as women, that the Indian who had 100,000 pesos worth of gold or silver in his house, left it open merely placing a small stick against the door, as a sign that its master was out. With that, according to their custom, no one could enter or take anything that was there. When they saw that we put locks and keys on our doors, they supposed that it was from fear of them, that they might not kill us, but not because they believed that anyone would steal the property of another. So that when they found that we had thieves among us, and men who sought to make their daughters commit sin, they despised us.”
The threads of Ecuador history are of an orderly society… that still has impact… an almost inborn sense of justice that dwells within the people of Ecuador.
Ecuador’s history brings ancient Andean legacy in…

music… bringing…
strength and unity to all cultures in Ecuador.
This is not to say that the social order in Ecuador is perfect… nor that there is not crime or thievery in Ecuador. Nor does this suggest that the Western influence in Ecuador has not been felt. The European influence has cast its shadow in Ecuador for almost five centuries after all.
However the majority of Ecuador’s population are indigenous and this is the sector that comes from this well ordered social code described above. When living, working or dealing with the indigenous one can often feel this to this day.
As with inflation… Ecuador is as likely to be bombarded by the sins of material civilization as ay place. After all this Andean nation is part of the global economy and is well connected with the rest of the world.
However like the cost of living… Ecuador has a lowered starting point. Yes prices will rise but there are much lower than in most places so the evils of rising costs are slowed. Yes social disorder can also grow also… but there is a a steadiness of order from Ecuador’s history and its kingdom of good order that will have a dampening effect on social disintegration… which could make Ecuador a more pleasant place to be for a longer time as we wait for the next spiritual revival to emerge.
