A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed."
— Archbishop Desmond Tutu
I love this phrase. It speaks to the interconnected nature of humanity on all levels. "I am because of the group of friends I am part of." "I am because my family is." "I am because of my community." "I am because I choose to contribute to the world and belong to a community of contributors." "I am because humanity exists." "I am because of all life."
cool.
