“I mean simply to say that ultimately our greatest joy is when we seek to do good for others… It’s how we are made. I mean we are wired to be compassionate… We are wired to be caring for the other and generous to one another. We shrivel when we are not able to interact… We depend on the other in order for us to be fully who we are… The concept we have here at home, Ubuntu, says: A person is a person through other persons… Ubuntu says when I have a small piece of bread, it is for my benefit that I share it with you. Because, after all, none of us came into the world on our own.” (Desmond Tutu)
–His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu with Douglas Abrams, The Book of Joy, p. 59-60
