An African tribe does the most beautiful thing.
When someone does something hurtful and wrong, they
take the person to the center of town, and the entire
tribe comes and
surrounds him.
For two days they'll tell the man every good thing he
has ever done.
The tribe believes that every human being comes into
the world as Good, each of us desiring safety, love,
peace, happiness.
But sometimes in the pursuit of those things people
make mistakes. The community sees misdeeds as a cry
for help.
They band together for the sake of their fellow man to
hold him up, to reconnect him with his true Nature, to
remind him who
he really is, until he fully remembers the truth from
which he'd temporarily been disconnected:
“I AM GOOD.”
