It should all awaken in us the desire to value human life as precious, all human life, so that we would refuse to demonize even adversaries. What makes genocide possible is that the victims are seen as less than human. In Africa we have something called ubuntu, the essence of being human, when we recognize that our humanity is bound up in that of others. We say a person is a person through other persons. We are created for interdependence, togetherness, and complementarity.
Genocide happens because people are intolerant of difference.
Ubuntu celebrates diversity. Our differences should make us realize our need of one another. The completely selfsufficient person is subhuman. Ubuntu speaks about hospitality, generosity, caring, and compassion. In the end, good does prevail.
