UBUNTU

Cynthia McKinney

An anthropologist thought he would test these African

children. He placed a bowl of fruit underneath a tree

 and told them that the first one to reach the tree could

 have the fruit. When he told the children to run, they

 all took each others' hands and ran together. They all

 enjoyed the fruit together. This is the African concept

 of Ubuntu. In my opinion, it is also why Africa is

preyed upon by the vultures untamed and let loose by

 other cultures.

When asked why they didn't run the course alone, they

 answered, UBUNTU! How can we be happy when

 others are sad?

UBUNTU in Xhosa is roughly translated, "I am because

 we are."

I found this on an African website and wanted to share

 it with you.

Now, if we could just get rid of those vultures.

Thanks to my son for sharing.
