I am because we are

An Anthropologist proposed a game to children of an African tribe. He put a basket of fruit near the tree and told the kids that the first one to reach the basket win them all.

When he asked them to run, they looked each other's hand and ran together, then sat together enjoying the fruits.

Seeing this, the anthropologist was shocked, and he asked one of the kid,

 " Why they all ran like that, anyone could have taken all fruit?"

They (kids) all said, "UBUNTU, how can one of us be happy, if others are sad",

UBUNTU is a philosophy of African tribes that can be summed up as "I am because we are ".

so, A country like Africa, where there is so much of hunger, everyone is taking care of each other, and not letting anybody down, then in our country INDIA, where many are very rich, and still they are craving for more.

Many of our kids are sleeping everyday hungry, because here we don't have CARING AND SHARING nature. Everybody is busy in making money for themselves without thinking about others for a while.

I can see many employees from renowned Multinational companies, where they are provided with good food , that too unlimited quantity, People are wasting food in an unlimited way.

If they will understand the value of food, then it will help in reducing food wastage and those foods can be given to many under privileged child.


so, Please don't waste food and show some respect for Humanity.
