[Generosity Traditions Around the World]: The phrase Lak'ech Ala K'in originates from the Mayan understanding of the human being. Roughly translated to "you are my other me." According to various interpretations, Mayan people conceived the universe as a great unity where everything is related. The individuals, the community, the plants, the animals, the winds, and the spirits are united and nothing exists without the relationship to the other; everything is alive and everything is connected. Each positive action we take to safeguard all facets of humankind is reflected back on society. Notice the parallel to the Ubuntu worldview? We love how generosity binds all of humanity together! . . . #GivingTuesday #generosity #traditions #customs #mayan #wordsofwisdom #neighborshelpingneighbors #community #workingtogether #humanity #inspiration #motivation #doinggood
