In Japan, during the war, this boy was seen carrying his dead brother on his back to bury ..a soldier noticed and asked him to throw this dead child so he wouldn’t get tired.
He replied: “He ain’t heavy” he’s my brother!..
And the soldier started crying.
Since then,this picture has become the symbol of UNITY in Japan.
Let this be our watchword: HE AIN’T HEAVY, HE’S MY BROTHER, SHE’S MY SISTER! This is the ubuntu spirit, in Igbo, it is called “onye aghala nwaneya”
If your brother falls, lift him up.,if he’s tired, support him,and if he’s discouraged, encourage him.
This may be a strange thing to do in a world dominated by egocentric souls who only think about themselves.
We have been taught that leaders are readers but I tell you, leaders are also “reachers”.
Reach out to people
Help who you can help
Give people the right connection
Put smiles on somebody’s face today. That’s the spirit of ubuntu.
“I am because you are”
