 Ubuntu

I am because

we are

 

Ubuntu is a very nice story from Africa...

an anthropologist proposed a gme to the African tribal children.

He placed a basket of sweets near a tree and made the children

stand 100 meters away and then announced that whoever reaches

first would get all the sweets in the basket. 

 

When he said "ready steady go!"...do you know what these

children did?  They all held each other's hands, ran together

toward the tree, divided the sweets equally among themselves

ate the sweets and enjoyed it.

 

When the anthopologist asked them why they did so,

they answered..."Ubuntu". Which meant, "How can one be

happy when the others are sad?"

 

Ubuntu in their languare means:  "I am because we are."
