This made me cry! Another reason why children should be teaching us and we should be living by the examples they set. Seeing the world through the eyes of a child is what I try and do everyday. It's just much more beautiful that way!
An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids in
an African tribe. He put a basket full of fruit near a
tree and told the kids that who ever got there first
won the sweet fruits. When he told them to run they
all took each others hands and ran together, then
sat together enjoying their treats. When he asked
them why they had run like that as one could have
had all the fruits for himself they said: ''UBUNTU,
how can one of us be happy if all the other ones are
sad?''
'UBUNTU' in the Xhosa culture means: "I am
because we are"
