The Shared Breath
The Shared Breath (Ubuntu)Characters: ELDER and YOUTH.Setting: A village square under a Baobab tree.YOUTH: I want to go to the city. I want to make my own way, build my own house, and answer to no one. I am my own man.ELDER: A person is a person only through other persons.YOUTH: That’s just an old saying. I have my own two hands. I don't need the village.ELDER: Can your hands weave the cloth you wear? Can they grow the grain you eat?YOUTH: I’ll buy those things!ELDER: With what? Money given by others for work done for others?YOUTH: (Frustrated) I just want to be an individual.ELDER: You are a note in a song. Alone, you are just a noise. Together, you are music. If the village suffers, a part of you withers. If you thrive, we all grow taller. Your "self" is not a fortress; it is a bridge.YOUTH: (Looking at the villagers) So I am because we are?ELDER: Exactly. You cannot be human alone.
