        He was a great man who suffered much! We will probably not see another like him for quite a while! May his family have blessings and peace!

          He will be sadly missed, I don't think the world will see his like again.

              Indeed.
              I hope we continue Madibas ethics and morals.

              I was waiting for the news but was still so shocked to actually hear it being said. What a great man even to my ignorant self……….

                Yes, He was a hero .He was like Moses liberating the Hebrews from the Egyptians.

                  He was a very courageous soul, imagine 27 yrs. in prison, and I am sure not like a country-club setting, as American ones are!  And then to not have a negative mindset after that!  He lived to truly make a difference.  Funny to now watch the celebs comment, and the politicians to ride the wave for their own purposes.

                    Yeah, I remember once in college, having to write our own obituary, an exercise in reflection on our legacy.

                    I tried that once, myself. It's more difficult than you think.
