Ubuntu

To you, "Ubuntu" might sound stupid, but it's one of the noblest
words in the Bantu language. From wikipedia:

Ubuntu, pronounced: /?b?nt?/ (oo-BOON-too), is a sub-
Saharan African ethic or ideology focusing on people's
allegiances and relations with each other. The word has its
origin in the Bantu languages of Southern Africa. Ubuntu is seen
as a traditional African concept.

A rough translation in English could be "humanity towards
others," or "I am because we are," or "A person 'becomes human'
through other persons", or also, "A person is a person because
of other persons". Another translation could be: "The belief in a
universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity."
