People motivate us to do things sooner... And invite them to share our life... UBUNTU
People motivate us to do things sooner... so what we were "planning to do" or what is left gets done because someone is watching or witness to something they mentioned recently... or connected to it... like sharing or showing your music collection or can be competitive or constantly impressing your friends in a good way.
Other people give your existence meaning / value... UBUNTU

@freeschool that is a little selfish to attach everything you see around to youself. Saying that Ubuntu is about collective thought process is not absolutely right, though these two things are connected.
For me Ubuntu means "being a sociable human, who cares about others in his society and lives accordingly to traditions". So it should include:
- Interconnection of people
- Separation between people near you and further from you. You interact with ones that are near more
- Caring of the ones who are near (wishing them good mentally and implementing it to reality with your actions)
- Paying respect to the things that make you and people near you common. The things in common are: traditions, rituals, beliefs, ideals, virtues etc
That does not mean bad attitude to strangers. It means, yes, trying to attach something alien to your circle by finding something common in you and in this alien thing.
When you are trying to attach Ubuntu to your ideology it is a similar process of making the "idea of Ubuntu" your idea. But you are doing it wrong by not respecting the things that are different between your ideology and Ubuntu. You just declare that they are equal. Seems like you don't care enough about what Ubuntu really is, don't try to study it.

I get the feeling you're taking the short text without considering that *of course* there is more to what I write... but it's also good what you write - the points are great and as long as you're not assuming I took much time to cover everything and if you're not too offended then I think this works for us both (and maybe others at the same time)...
"something common in you" that part was quite new as well as everything else said quite well
I think ubuntu is selfish a bit (like all things that want for something in life) but not in the bad sense where just not being ignored and having some human connection or interconnection is what we want for anyone who is human and probably needing these things, but 'selfish' can also be from talking from the me or I perspective so I don't assume or offend anyone that thinks they don't need others around them or much of the humans warmth and understanding.
I am not sure sometimes why you're saying I'm trying to make Ubuntu (why it's important to you if I am or not) because I think I never said that - and it's almost like you're over-defending something when overall what I wrote is not far wrong perhaps... or too short to really assume much. I have to admit the ubuntu was a bit of an afterthought I joined with the sharing or connection comment which was my first thought... but again I don't think they are too far apart or claiming too much. Thanks.
