Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

UBUNTU
“(Ubuntu) is part of the gift that Africa will give the world.
It embraces hospitality, caring about others, being able to go the extra mile for the sake of others. We believe that a person is a person through another person, that my humanity is caught up, bound up, inextricably, with with yours.
When I dehumanise you, I inexorably dehumanise myself. The solitary human being is a contradiction in terms and therefore you seek to work for the common good because your humanity comes into its own in belonging”.
— Archbishop Desmond Tutu
