I read a post in a Greek blog today which I found really inspirational and would like to share:
An anthropologist asked the children of an African tribe to play a game. He put a basket full of fruits under a tree and told the children that whoever got there first would get the fruits for himself.When he asked the children to run, they grabbed each other's hands, ran together and then all together sat down and enjoyed the fruit.
The anthropologist then asked the children why they ran all together wen one of themk could get all the fruits for himself and they replied: "UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy when everyone else is miserable?"

A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of
others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, based
from a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she
belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated
or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.
