I'm sorry you've been having such a crud day. Isn't it nice the way helping other people can help change our own bad days?
It reminded me of this:
Ubuntu is very difficult to render into a Western language. It speaks of the very essence of being human. It is to say, “My humanity is caught up, is inextricably bound up in yours”. We belong in a bundle of life. A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed, or treated as if they were less than who they are.
– Desmond Tutu
