Many people are truly unaware of what made MADIBA a great man

How could a man spend a lifetime in jail, 27 years is more than a mans youth!

still

after leaving the cage of your oppressor, he had the effontery to forgive that white man

the people that put him there


this resolution against retaliation was not just a simple sacrifice, up till the extent of dividing his home
SA Could at that moment, expel all the whites... but he defended his oppressor

Mandela Lifetime is held at a pinnacle and invictus is a poem he read every single day in prison!

Born with a rare sickle condition and deformity that did not allow his legs to grow proportionately with his body
This young man did not offend anyone, but he was subject the worst kind of pain in this world...
bearing in mind the riducle he head already endured

it was indeed a sad life

but those inspiring words sprung from the darkest peroid in his life

Forgiveness liberates the soul. It removes fear. That is why it is such a powerful weapon.
