Wisdom must be exercised; heroes must be born. But how can our leaders be stewards of a universal commitment to morality when there are rightful constituents—people with heart, skills, and potential—considered unessential within the world’s little fiefdoms? Since the human population is everyone’s concern, everyone ought to be included. If vices can be institutionalized so can virtues. The most read sages thought so—the men and women who carried civilization in their hearts through time and evolution. Twenty-five hundred years ago Lao Tzu wrote: “The Sage is always good at saving men, and therefore nobody is abandoned; always good at saving things, therefore nothing is wasted.” Since then, the world’s surface has changed dramatically, but wisdom will nevertheless be heard. In the spirit of South African Ubuntu, we exercise society only through the humanity of others. So why waste the chance to feel human by wasting each other?
