Ubuntu — I am because we are

Ubuntu, the African philosophy that a person is only a person through other persons, says that your wellbeing and mine are not separate—what hurts you diminishes me, and what strengthens you strengthens us both. This is the deepest truth about family and community, and it changes how you move through the world.
