An anthropologist who was studying a tribe in South Africa put down a basket full of fresh sweet strawberries and promised to give all the fruit to the first child who got to the basket. That was translated and told to the kids. However the kids held hands and started running together. They were happy to arrive at the basket and share the fruit together.
The anthropologist was curious so he asked the kids, "I told you all that I was going to give one first place person all the fruit so why did you all hold hands and run together?" Then from one little child's lips shot out the word, "Ubuntu." If all others are sad how can one person be happy? Ubuntu. I could use more of this today and the day after that. More: behaving well towards others & acting in ways that benefit the community. “No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.” (1 John 4: 12)
