Ubuntu, also known as Unhu in other parts of Africa, is an ethical philosophy held by many Africans and now Westerners (First World) that focuses on how we treat one another and the purpose there of, why we do. It’s a word describing an African world view, which translates as “I am because you are,” and which means that individuals need other people to be fulfilled. It is a way of living, it is how you treat your fellow man, it is how you respect them and understand that their beliefs help form the bigger picture, their situations are for purpose.
So many people try to explain it, put it into words, but often come undone with the mere fact that it is more a way of being, it is a feeling, a way of living, the way you are and not easily...

We are all warriors
We pick ourselves up
We live
We hope

Sometimes we just need to spread a little love instead of hate not only to those we know but perhaps to even those we don't. I'm a strong believer in the fact that you never know who's day you will make better by a simple gesture of kindness be it a smile or even holding open a door for someone...

The other day I asked my step-son how I can help him remember to LIFT the seat before he goes... he gave me that look "sheesh don't you know already" and sighed dramatically responding with "... well if you put a sticker up there I'd remember, no sticker no rememory"
So there you have it... I now have these stickers on all toilets and it works!

Look beyond the mask and the strength I project, look deep for the scars that are hidden.
Although I may seem fierce, I am filled with kindness and pain, seeking only peace within my soul and in the world that surrounds me.
