17.We had a TV series in London.One of our fellow TV presenters seriously upset the camera crew when they arrived at his house.He was rude and unconcerned,treating them like lowly workers.Minutes later,when the camera was turned on,he became the perfectly smiling spiritual figure he was publicly known to be.But,as the crew told us later,he had already shown them that he didn't walk his talk.
In contrast,Ed was meeting with Jo,our TV producer,in a small London cafe.If you have ever been to London you'll know that in such cafe the tables are very close.Two well dressed African men sat down next to them,which effectively meant they were sharing the same table.Ed asked the two strangers where they were from and one said,"South Africa."The man pulled out his business card-his name was Jacob Zuma who,at that time,was the President of the ANC but is now the President of South Africa.
Usually,if you sit next to someone in a big city cafe,you don't even make eye contact,let alone conversation.Jacob had never met Ed before so he could have been distant and polite,he certainly didn't have to talk,let alone maintain communication,which he did over the following few years.He even hugged him!
How we walk our talk shows far more than just our public behavior.Rather,it highlights how we view the world and our place in it.Jacob Zuma showed us how he treats others-with the fairness,consideration and respect that he treats all beings.No matter who we are,whether a street cleaner or a president,we are all equal,here together as one human family.
