THIS THING CALLED UBUNTU

I see, I saw!

I'm an Ubuntu person. For example, it takes a community to groom a child not just dad and mum.

I'm beginning to grasp the power of community.
It can make you.

Or mar you.

When you're in community, you can be sure that someone will always be there for you. Someone makes up for what you can't make up for.

That's how it makes you.

To marring you

Let me give you a gist.

There's this TV game 🎯 show called the Chase. There are 4 contestants that make up a team. Each member of the team will be asked questions for 90 seconds and gets £1000 for every right answer.

After the 90 seconds, the chaser (who chases you for the money) would give you 3 offers.

1. The least offer  which is usually low or sometimes in minus e g -5,000
2. The mid offer which is what you won in the 90 seconds
3. The high offer which is mouthwatering

The contestant asks the advise of other team mates on which of the offers to accept before making a decision. The chaser chases him to get the money. If the chaser gets him, then he leaves the team.

The money from the 4 teammates is collated and they answer some questions. If the chaser catches them, the game is off. If not, the contestants share the money equally.

So to the one I watched...

This first guy did well and he went for the high offer which was £30,000 and the chaser didn't catch him so he won that round. 

The second guy went for £7,000 and he won that round.

The third lady who just finished drama school said she was going to use her share to host her graduation party with her friends. 

E no off me...I mean I just said well it's her money.

She made £2,000 in her 90 seconds.

She didn't go for her £2000.

She didn't go for the high offer.

She went for the low offer which was -£5000. 

Her reason? It would allow her to end her chase quickly so she can move on to the next phase.

I was pained.

She made it to the next stage and -£5000 was deducted from the money. 

There was nothing they could do.

That's how community marrs you. One person's decision can go south and everyone bears the brunt.

Community can make or mar you.

Watch it.
