“*A neheztelés olyan, mintha mérget innánk, és azt várnánk, hogy az ellenségeink haljanak bele.*” ― Nelson Mandela **(A program magyar nyelven zajlik.)** A történelem során az emberi társadalmak újra és újra szembesültek a megosztottsággal. Amikor az identitás polarizációvá keményedik, az együttélés törékennyé válik. A különbségek időnként polgárháborús konfliktusokba torkollnak, amelyek tovább mélyítik a bizalmatlanságot és a sérelmeket – gyakran nemzedékeken át. A történelem azonban ritka ellenpéldákat is kínál: olyan pillanatokat, amikor a gyűlölet és a megosztottság ördögi köre nem sodródott tovább az erőszak irányába, hanem a megbékélés felé fordult. Ezen az alkalmon az Ubuntu filozófiáját vizsgáljuk meg – azt az afrikai etikai szemléletet, amely olyan vezetők gondolkodását formálta, mint Nelson Mandela és Desmond Tutu. Az **Ubuntu** – „Az vagyok, mert mi vagyunk” – azt állítja, hogy az identitás nem pusztán egyéni, hanem alapvetően kapcsolati természetű. Még az is a közösség része marad, akivel szemben állunk. Lehetséges, hogy éppen ez a felismerés rejlik a sikeres megbékélések hátterében. Dél-Afrika apartheid utáni átmenete mellett más történelmi példákat is megvizsgálunk: az amerikai polgárháborút követő időszakot, Franciaország és Németország kibékülését, Japán háború utáni átalakulását, valamint az észak-írországi békefolyamatot. **Bevezetés (15 perc)** Rövid bemutatkozással kezdünk, ahol a résztvevők röviden bemutatják magukat. **Kérdések (1 óra 45 perc)** 1. Az Ubuntu szerint miért különbözik a remény az optimizmustól, és miért tekinthető erősebbnek? 2. Az önbecsülés korában élünk, vagy éppen annak hiányában? 3. Alkalmazható-e az Ubuntu arra is, aki elutasítja az Ubuntu elveit? 4. Mi történik, amikor a „mi” olyanokat is magában foglal, akik alapvető értékeinket tagadják? 5. Hogyan működik az Ubuntu folyamatban lévő konfliktus idején? 6. Előfordulhat, hogy a közösség ereje rossz irányba fordul? Hogyan lehet ezt megelőzni? 7. Beleképzelted-e már magad valaki helyzetébe, akit mélyen elutasítasz? 8. Miben hasonlítható össze az európai megbékélés a dél-afrikai vagy az észak-ír példával? 9. A megbékéléshez mi fontosabb: erős vezetők vagy erős intézmények? 10. Összeegyeztethető-e mindig a megbocsátás az igazságossággal? Létezik pont, ahol a megbocsátás igazságtalansággá válik? 11. Miért kulcsfontosságú az igazság a megbékélési folyamatban? 12. Fennmaradhat-e a megbékélés tartós anyagi egyenlőtlenségek mellett? 13. Segíthet-e az Ubuntu a polarizáció oldásában? 14. Hogyan alkalmazható az Ubuntu a közösségi média világában? 15. Az Ubuntu tekinthető-e az egyéni érettségtől a társadalmi érettség felé vezető útnak? 16. A polarizáció a morális komolyság jele – vagy inkább morális éretlenség? 17. A polarizációt inkább az egyenlőtlenség, vagy inkább az identitás hajtja? **RSVP:** Kérjük, erősítsd meg részvételedet itt a Meetup oldalon, hogy biztosítsd a helyedet.

The Men’s Circle of Excellence Gathering, for men who seek truth, mastery, and a life beyond mediocrity. The goal is simple: to support each other in mastering mind and spirit, breaking free from comfort, and moving toward excellence in every area of life. Modern life offers endless distractions but little real connection. Too often, men walk the path of self-development alone, or struggle against the negative pull of today’s society. The Men’s Circle of Excellence was created to change that: to bring support, accountability, challenge, and community energy. We gather in person to share openly, confront fears, and inspire one another to reach higher. Here, power is rooted in virtue, strength is balanced with empathy, and ambition is guided by wisdom. How it works: • Welcome & introductions: Meet new members and reconnect with familiar faces. • Open sharing: Each man speaks about his current challenges, fears, or obstacles. • Honest reflections: The group responds with insight and encouragement. • Connection Time: After the circle, we'll have extra time to relax, talk, and build friendships. Recommendation: • Before the event, take some time to think about your current situation and what to bring into the circle. Limited to max. 8 men per gathering to keep the space focused, personal, and meaningful. Confirm your attendance to reserve your spot.
