UBUNTU, and African Cultural way of being, the cream rises to the top

”In my part of the world, we have something called ubuntu. It is the essence of being human.

We say a person is a person through other persons. I can’t be human in isolation. I need you to be all you can be, so that I can become me and all that I can be.

It is not "I think therefore I am." It says rather: "I am human because I belong. I participate. I share."

-- Desmond Tutu
