dc.description.abstract Firstly, the idea of sense making views, approaches, orientations or patterns which operate and function in our present and past experiences, is discussed. Sense making approaches operate and function in everyday unaware as well as theoretical aware ways in our lives with totalising complexity and unifying simplicity, computational fluctuation and regularising constancy. They permeate, carry and guide hardened and age-old doctrines, theories, religions, clichés, buzzwords, constructs, banalities, stereotypes, ideologies, truisms, commandments and mottos in every nook and cranny of life. Secondly a sense making view, approach, orientation or pattern is presented here as nothing else than what is usually called one’s wisdom or common sense pattern, one’s religion or ideology, one’s belief or value system, one’s symbol spectrum or God, life and world view. Thirdly, extended and differentiated versions of the Ubuntu motto and the central Biblical commandment of love are considered as wholesome and dynamic sense making God-life-and-world views. en
