Ubuntu reminds me of the freely given altruistic and compassionate spirit of caring we individuals can naturally provide to each other in life. This giving spirit of ubuntu is the nurturance needed to enable even a simple flower bud to grow with strength into a magnificent blossoming fragrant flower for all life to experience. We all start our lives as simple flower buds. Have you ever considered what are all the individual altruistic contributions which come together from different aspects of life to nurture a simple flower into bloom, ubuntu? So, it is the same with each of us. It takes a global family within the culture of ubuntu for this. We are all in it together, and therefore we all need each other’s nurturance, love. This is only a small aspect of the living spirit, the nurturance, of what is capsulated in the spirit of word “Ubuntu”.
