It isn’t what the world needs. It’s who. That guy across the table? He needs you. And, more to the point, you need him.
Ubuntu isn’t social work. And it isn’t community organizing either.

It is certainly much more personalized when we target helping the person sitting across from us, versus the unseen millions on the other side of the planet.
Now that I am sitting down with the guy across from me. what is ‘it’ that he really needs? And who has the qualifications to actually deliver it?

Now to the question of cultivating Ibuntu in service of the other and in terms of liturgy and spiritual discipline that keeps us grounded in practice that ponts toward the cultivation of Ubuntu.
This could scare the shit out of some folks. Cultivation of a community that lives this doesn’t begin with the knowledge that I am a good liberal therefore the world needs me. Instead, I think, it begins with the notion that I am a person therefore I have need of other people. Am I right about this?
Anyway, good post!

I asked him if he still enjoyed the interaction he has with individuals in his care, whether he loves the person in front of him. Sure, of course. Well, then, you do love people, I said–in the way that matters.
It’s just when you round them all up in your mind, as an entity, that they become the ugly mob of rude and immature objects of “health care.” When the individual is in front of you, there’s always a way to find compassion for them, despite their rudeness and immaturity (or
because of it).
Next time I talk to him, I’ll have to mention the idea of ubuntu. I think that he’s in a context where it makes a great deal of sense.
