一个村庄中的每个人都在抚养一个孩子和珍惜它方面都有角色，作为回报，孩子会适当地对那个村庄中的每个人负责。这就是使社会生活成为可能的原因。我们必须彼此相爱，并在日常生活中互相帮助。那是传统的非洲方式，无法替代它。没有任何。
(Everybody in a village had a role to play in bringing up a child-and cherishing it-and in return that child would in due course feel responsible for everybody in that village. That is what makes life in society possible. We must love one another and help one another in our daily lives. That was the traditional African way and there was no substitute for it. None.)

这句话强调了在一个村庄中抚养儿童的公共方法，每个人都为养育和维护青年提供了贡献。这种集体责任促进了牢固的联系，确保随着孩子的成长，他们对整个社区产生了责任感和关怀，说明了交织在一起的个人生活如何在一个社会中。
这种观点强调了社区成员日常互动中爱与支持的基本价值。据作者说，亚历山大·麦考尔·史密斯（Alexander McCall Smith）的说法，这种传统的非洲生活方式是不可替代的，这表明这种社区关系对于一个和谐而运转的社会至关重要，强调了相互援助和感情的重要性。
