I AM GOOD

I was recently told of an African tribe that does the most beautiful thing.

When someone does something hurtful and wrong, they take the person to the center of town, and the entire tribe comes and surrounds him. For two days they’ll tell the man every good thing he has ever done.

The tribe believes that every human being comes into the world as GOOD, each of us desiring safety, love, peace, happiness.

But sometimes in the pursuit of those things people make mistakes. The community sees misdeeds as a cry for help.

They band together for the sake of their fellow man to hold him up, to reconnect him with his true Nature, to remind him who he really is, until he fully remembers the truth from which he'd temporarily been disconnected: "I AM GOOD".

Thoughts to ponder...

How does your community (or family) react when you make mistakes?  How does this impact affect you emotionally?  Does this reaction support positive changes?   Imagine how different our community (or society) would be if we all supported each other in this way - through good times and bad.  Our mistakes should not define us.  Let your strength and kindness overcome the mistakes and become your true nature.
