COT:

Desmond Tutu on the Zulu word Ubuntu “A person is a person through other persons.” as brothers when people are suffering that means we are suffering too, and when people are experiencing greatness and excellence we are too, so we can cheer them on and encourage them to grow…this is also what Doc Rivers used as the rally cry of the Boston Celtics championship in 2007…

Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela used the idea to help reconcile South Africa post apartheid and it’s so rooted in the Bible where Paul says:

“If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12‬:‭26‬ ‭NIV‬‬
