Hey Private Julius,

Good to hear from you agin!

Of course I am happy! Every single DEMOCRATIC country must be willing to have assholes as leaders as well. The US got Reagan and Bush. We got Zuma. Live with it. If you believe in democracy that is. If not… Hitler or Stalin or Mao might be better suited for you.

So long since I last wrote on your board. Are you still happy that you empowered and enabled the likes of Julius as future leaders of SA?

You write beautifully.
I didn’t know that’s what Ubuntu means.
Thank you.

@skuttlefish – Yeah. Me to. Wish I always felt like this…

@Musasizi – Actually, there is not definition of Ubuntu. The closest is “I am because you are”. And we do get angry. But we express our anger differently. We get angry at injustice. At discrimination. At hunger. Etc. But what we do with our anger is direct it to loving and caring for those who suffer. Anger is not a bad thing, only when you turn it into hate is it bad. I don’t think we don’t agree. It’s just emphasis and semantics I think.

@Surface Earth – Thank you so much for that. Caring is easier than we think. If only we took a little bit more time. That is a huge compliment.

@Ron – Yeah! Viva! Long Live Ubuntu! Haven’t heard “Bru” and “Viva” in one sentence for a long time. No wonder I miss home. People like you make the world go round bru.

@lottakullman – Thank you. And I am because there are people like you out there. We have never met, but Ubuntu is the connection. Don’t need a face or a voice to go with that. I thank you for that.

Just let out a very long breath. I wonder at the enormity of human compassion you managed to capture here. This should be required reading.
