Fantastic story learned by an anthropologist from a group of African children
This is a true, very touching story occurred in Africa. An anthropologist asked ...a group of children in Africa to play a game. He placed a basket full of fruits close to a tree and told the kids, that whoever gets there first will win the delicious fruits.
The moment he told them to run, they all took each other’s hands and ran together. They then sat one next to each other and shared the fruits.
The anthropologist asked them why did they do that, and they replied: “UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are sad?”
In the Xhosa culture, the meaning of the word ”UBUNTU” is: “I am because we are”
