Ubuntu! “How could one of us be happy when<br />
the others are sad?”<br />
This philosophy and way of life speak about our<br />
interconnectedness. You can't exist as a human<br />
all by yourself. Our choices affect others. Every<br />
day we have crossroads and decisions. With<br />
each decision, we either choose to add value to<br />
another human life or to take it away. We are<br />
always choosing one or the other. Even the<br />
decision to do nothing is still a decision.<br />
Part of walking in awareness is understanding<br />
that we are responsible for the condition in<br />
which we leave others. How has their encounter<br />
with us affected them? What lasting impression<br />
have I left?<br />
We often talk about leaving a legacy for future<br />
generations. Often, we are referring to finances<br />
or inheritance, but what about our daily legacy?<br />
We are building a memorial to ourselves with<br />
every sentence, every text message, every email,<br />
every glance. Realizing this certainly changes<br />
our perspective, doesn’t it?<br />
Please reflect on what I mentioned about<br />
intelligence on page 125 as you read the<br />
following quotes from some pretty sharp<br />
individuals:<br />
