1918-2013
“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.”
We learnt to love you. Your humility, your compassion, your passion to spread peace across South Africa and consequently across the whole world.
You weren't just any ordinary person, you were gift for our time. I thank God for giving you to us. You are resting in peace.
Its strange to me, I always saw you as immortal here to guide us through the evil in this world. But I bet you would like that. Your death was a message you were merely human like everyone else.
You never gave in despair, you never let yourself surrender to your lowest instincts. You gave hope not only to South Africa and to the world but also... yourself.
I am so proud to say you were released out of prison 11th of February. My birthday date.
This is a message to your spirit, to your legacy. Even though you passed on, they never will.
It will be in our hearts, minds and souls.
C.R.I.P - Carry on Resting in Peace
You are peace. :)
