i am because we are.

archbishop desmond tutu explaining the meaning of “ubuntu.”

Ubuntu is an idea present in African spirituality that says ‘I am because we are,’ or we are all connected, we cannot be ourselves without community, health and faith are always lived out among others, an individual’s well being is caught up in the well being of others.”

this is what i call an absolute truth.
