"Disposing Light Bulbs: A Green Answer" I recently discovered that every time I throw a light bulb into my garbage can, I am breaking the law.

They did not think of their actions as selfless, because they adhere to "ubuntu," a term that means "I am a person through other people." In essence, philanthropic acts are not external, because we should see others as extensions of ourselves.
