Heng Sure once visited slum villagers who  were really connected to one another despite being really poor. They welcomed them (himself and three other guests) with song and dance in a circle,  with the elders in the centre, and the young outside. They welcomed them  into their shabby houses and gave them warm water in tin cans. Four families had pooled their money together to buy  them four teabags for tea. They really honoured their guests and  relationships with one another. This is completely unlike a child sitting engrossed in a high-tech electronic game. When a parent enters the room, it is as if he didn\u2019t at all because the child doesn&#8217;t notice. If the child is asked  something, he might just give a grunt. Human relationships can be  eroded by such overuse of gadgets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ubuntu (Zulu): People become people through other people.
