Dear Friends,
Ubuntu: A very nice story...! An anthropologist proposed a game to the kids of an African tribal community. He placed a basket of fruits near a tree, made them stand 100 meters away, and announced that whoever reached first would get all the fruits in the basket. When he said, "Ready, steady, go," do you know what these small children did? They all caught each other's hands, ran towards the tree together, divided the fruits among themselves, and enjoyed them. When the anthropologist asked them why they did so, they said 'Ubuntu.' This meant: 'How can one be happy when all the others are sad?' 'Ubuntu' in their language means: 'I am because we are!' Let's all carry this attitude within us and spread happiness wherever we go.

A good example of selflessness.
I have heard in a movie that when a crow finds some food, it shouts and invites the fellow crows to join. Whatever may be the good things we receive, it brings happiness when shared!!!

Dear Sri S.R. Balaji,
A well-written anecdote with a little bit of suspense and an appealing moral. Ubuntu is a great concept indeed. I wish more and more people read this and imbibe the principle in their life. Very relevant as of today as more and more people tend to be more selfish.
