Ubuntu Philosophy
“Ubuntu philosophy is driven by the understanding that I am fully me because of my community.”
Managing Diversity
“We come from different cultures with different attitudes and beliefs, which have their advantages and disadvantages. It is only for the purpose of increasing the world animosity if one selects to portray one culture to be superior over the other. Because in the main we all have the same colour in our blood and we decay the same way when we die, so therefore at the core we are all the same, we just differ due to the way we have been grouped by history, evolution or any other particular phenomenon that led to the way we differ.”
Down with Supremacy
“Judging a book by its cover is still dangerous, so just open the book and read before you claim to understand what it is about”
Ubuntu the community glue.
“Every society has glue that binds people together; in our community we have Ubuntu.”
Every act is important
“Powerful, Passionate and yet to be fully understood forces and processes connive to lead to a conception of an individual, therefore proper respect must be directed to this act that is usually considered only trivial and only its results considered important.
Gift of a Child
“Every newborn is a gift to the family and community at large. It is strange how we continue to keep the gifts wrapped and never allow them to fully show us the goodness and exciting benefits inside their packaging.”
Transformation
‘Transformation from one stage to another is as important as the next or previous stage, therefore an unattended transformation may lead to a wrong stage that requires another transformation, so pay proper and full attention or it may cost you.”
Visibility of Ubuntu
“The foundation of a complete building is not usually visible to human eye and yet it is the most important part of the building that keeps the building upright”
Defining life moments
“Defining moments in life come and go and yet we never properly notice them and yet we have many people who don’t know who they are because they missed their definitions.”
Strengthening Communities
“An African individual is raised by the community and therefore they must work hard and have a responsibility to enhance and keep the community strong to raise other individuals.”
Managing Diversity
“Human beings have different unique voices and characters and therefore are in different relationships that are never and will never be the exactly same, so you can compare the similarities but do not make the mistake of making them the same, because they will never be the same. “
Parenting Honour
“As a parent you have been given the power and responsibility to raise and care for another human being and this responsibility does not have an exit clause and must be carried out in dignity to the One who gave you this responsibility and if you don’t the repercussions are dire indeed, as some already know and experience them.”
