IdleOneunhu is the word for Ubuntu in the Shona language spoken in Zimbabwe18:50
IdleOnethis is a small part of what unhu is:18:50
IdleOneThe individual identity is replaced with the larger societal identity within the individual. Thus, families are portrayed or reflected in the individual and this phenomenon is extended to villages, districts, provinces and regions being portrayed in the individual. This places high demands on the individual to behave in the highest standards and to portray the highest possible virtues that society strives for. "Unhu" embodies all th18:50
IdleOnee invaluable virtues that society strives for towards maintaining harmony and the spirit of sharing among its members.18:50
IdleOneSince yesterday I have felt saddened by the post by Ben and also by a lot of the comments18:51
IdleOneThe CC could take away his membership status but then we would be just as bad as he has shown himself to be in that blog post. If his actions reflect on the rest of the community I believe the rest of the community are responsible for his actions. We should not be talking about removing him, instead we should be talking about how we can help him understand Ubuntu.18:54
vishIdleOne: pretty sure just commenting over here is not gonna make the CC take action , if you are hurt by the comment you can probably send a complaint to the CC... mostly everyone just wants to not give him/those comments any value or waste time on them..19:08
IdleOnevish: my comment here was not meant just for the CC. I am sure the CC is aware of this situation. I commented here because there are many community leaders in this channel.19:09
vishIdleOne: yup , i got that, but was just mentioning :)19:10
IdleOnevish :)19:11
IdleOnevish: I might be reading your comment wrong up there so I just wanted to clarify in case. I did not mean to say I think the CC should remove his membership. I was just saying they could do that but I don't believe it would help the community.19:22
vishIdleOne: hehe, we are both saying the same thing,but probably in different ways, it surely wont help wasting time on that issue.. :)19:25
IdleOnelol19:26
