His life should be celebrated. RIP Nelson. It's been a good run.
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” requiescat in pace
Was he a perfect man? certainly not, but I don't measure a man by his perfection. I measure him by his ability to admit his flaws and rise above them. Congratulations on a life well lived, Mr. Mandela.

The lion of freedom sleeps. I hope he is remembered well and the coming weeks inspire someone or someones to fight as hard and be as radical as he was. Here's to him and the hope the media does not pacify what he did for the world and his people. The world is lesser without him, but because of him there will be others. Thank god.
