"In serving others, we serve ourselves." That is the meaning of Ubuntu, and that is the whole point of Michael Tellinger's contributionism.

It's basically the meaning of life. Glad to see United People up and running. :D

Skippy! A blast from the past!

You sure know how to pick 'em, Skip. Then again, if you're going to change the game, you have to go for the game-changers.

So, I watched the video again (thank you for that). I took notes this time. Here's what I wrote.

Quote:
Aravind and United People have some parallel philosophies.

  • Compassion (empathy), uncompromising quality (excellence), self-reliance (independence)

  • To give sight to all. To see all as one.

  • We're here to affirm dignity.

  • Maximize for service, not profit.

  • Sharing your strength amplifies it many fold.

  • (Give something) that's not meant for the profit of one person, but for the benefit of humanity.

  • A place to practice truth. A place where head, heart, and hands align.

  • Just as there are external forms of blindness, there are internal forms of blindness as well -- anger, greed, jealousy (and lack of empathy).

  • It is ourselves we are helping. It is ourselves we are healing.

Thank you for your post. Sometimes little things have big impacts.
