In this paper I will evaluate two divergent views on the meaning of life. These views are a traditional American Indian saying that goes “Leave the earth as you found it” versus a modernistic American view that goes “make your mark on the world.” I will argue that although these views on the meaning of life offer two very different meanings on how one should live their life‚ they are both compatible with each other.
