About This Quote
The Serengeti is a large area on the continent of Africa. It is also the land of our youth. Many people love this land because it reminds them of their youth, when they were living like any other animal in the wild. They don’t realize that they are not like other animals anymore; they are not even like their ancestors who lived in the Serengeti.
Now, they are civilized and civilized people need to learn the lessons that were learned by people in the Serengeti. The lessons taught by the wild were that living in harmony with nature was much more important than having a lot of property or material things. You can’t have everything; you must be content with what you have.
