Today marks the passing of someone I could only hope to be half of. 

 

This is a man who has influenced my life in more ways than you would ever imagine, someone who ended apartheid and brought South Africa to the fore in the fight against racism.

 

RIP Mr. Nelson Madiba Mandela, I hope you have a safe stay up there in the clouds old man.

Very sad. Not too long ago I watched below. It gives excellent insight into the life South Africans during and after Mandela. Pretty cool if you have the time.

A lesser man would have sucummbed to hatred, retribution, and revenge after spending 27 years locked up. His response was the opposite.


I hope that his death, as sad as it is, reminds us that there are people dying on a daily basis still,people enduring hardships that we in privilidged societies cannot imagine,  because they are not treated like equals.
