#Western #cultures believe we must be #alive for a #purpose, to work, to make #money. Some #indigenous cultures believe we're alive just as #nature is alive: to be here, to be beautiful & strange. We don't need to achieve anything to be #valid in our #humanness.

Henry Burton was an English Puritan who suffered for criticizing a CoE bishop. Here he reflects on the story of Lazarus and the Rich Man from Luke 16:19-31. The rich man was completely focused on himself and a sensual life. His sympathies couldn’t even cross outside his front door, where a beggar with sores was regularly placed, hoping for some crumbs.
Can our thoughts and sympathies extended outside our front door? #usaid

#UkuhlanganaKobuntu — #Intersecting #struggles and #solidarity in the #fight for #equality in #africa
Whatever endangers or jeopardises #ubuntu or the #humanity or #humanness of just one person (through #marginalisation, #stigmatisation, #labelling, #profiling, or #violence) goes against the very idea of #UkuhlanganaKobuntu, which confers humanness on every human being.
