Mi nombre es jose, y compartire un grupo de post personales que realizaba por otras plataformas, soy nuevo en Steemit, espero poder colaborar y tambien ver que tan bien funciona la comunidad en ambos sentidos, para aprender y como generador de ingresos.

Mi primer aporte espero que guste:

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they´re small. A journy of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. By Lao Tzu

El post de hoy es sobre un artículo que he leído sobre una tribu de África lo cual me ha llamado mucho la atención el nivel de superioridad humana y de respeto que mantienen con tan solo decir un simple “hola” o un “hasta luego”.

‪#‎Sawabona es un saludo usado en África del Sur y quiere decir: “Yo te respeto y te valoro. Eres importante para mí.”

Simplemente fascinante no?

A esta frase, las personas responden ‪#‎Shikoba que significa: “Entonces, yo existo para ti.”

I been finding out more about that and I've taken this through the blog:

https://tarbeyah.wordpress.com/2012/02/15/sawabona-seeing-as-a-dialogue/

I came across two amazing words today from the African tradition” Sawabona and Sikbona. “SAWABONA” is a common greeting among the tribes of northern Natal in South Africa and it literally means “I SEE YOU” As to say, “I respect and acknowledge you for who you are” In return people say “SIKBONA” which literally means “I AM HERE” as to say “When you see me you bring me into existence”.

Lately he added this note from a novel:

“Few people believe they have the right body, and yet they do not destroy it. Many think they did not get the children they deserve, and yet they would never desert them. Most people will not even abandon a dog. Why then is it impossible to say, “you are my friend. I will never leave you”?

It is not. And I say this to you now: You are my partner, the one I want to walk though life with, the one I want to grow old with, the one whose hand I want to hold as I die. I will never neglect you. I will never turn from you. Forever and forever, I will never leave you.”

‘Notes to Each Other’ by Hugh and Gayle Prather

Una muy Buena acotación que se puede agregar ante la enseñanza de este increíble gesto de la tribu, puedo decir que son cosas que aprendes cuando vas dejando el apego y el ego de un lado, puedes comenzar con apagar la T.V.

And another article I´ve seen this:

"Sawabona": A South African greeting which means

"I respect you, I value you, you are important to me."
The reply? "Shikoba" Meaning,

"Therefore, I exist for you."

Me parece sumamente increíble que a pesar del clima, la geografía, religión, creencias, color, y cualquier aparente diferencia que tengamos unos de otros, somos los mismo y llegamos al mismo hecho en diferentes caminos.

Sawabona.

My eternal respect for all those amazing tribes In all the world.

We never stop to learn.
