Who we are: Human uniqueness and the African spirit of Ubuntu. Desmond Tutu, Templeton Prize 2013

The 2013 Templeton Prize Laureate, Desmond Tutu, speaks on the topic: "Who we are: Human uniqueness and the African spirit of Ubuntu."

Imagine if Ubuntu had been the basis of the dominant culture, instead 'I think, therefore I am'. I'm pretty certain that we wouldn't have the problems we have today if that had been the case. Time to make that happen now.

It was in the continent of Africa before imperialism, white supremacy, patriarchy, captialism, etc. We are grieving so much because of social constructs.

[@Katy-sh3ru]

@@communitybuildventures6929 yes, exactly. And western 'civilisation' is supposed to be the pinnacle of human development? Rubbish.

Is it weird that I thought of this on my own if you days ago and wrote it down? My sister was saying that she doesn’t know what to do with her application for a job and I told her that experiences in life is our application who we encounter is her application! So it’s so affirming to see realized in front of me

Inspired me to write my Masters on Ubuntu philosophy.
