Madeba is
no more among us.. The tired heart of Nelson Mandela gave up after 95 years of
fearsome struggle against Injustice and Racial Segregation; the
main two foundations pillars of Apartheid. His firm stand, simple
ideas and indisputable convictions made him the living
personification of the legendary “Rainmaker”
(he who brings
the rain that make peace among all tribes and creatures).
After 27
years in prison, he came out to work for social pacification not for revenge.. Despite
many temptations, he never gave in to compromise his ideas against private
benefits: “There is no such thing as
partial freedom” as he often taught us, we the simple citizens of the Black
Continent.. Egyptians or South Africans, Senegalese or Somalis, Congolese or
Tunisians, we’re all African Natives whom the search for a better tomorrow
communes every single one of us regardless of origin, colour
or belief.
Mandela,
same as Ghandi, has modestly stood tall as
the powerful lighthouse to guide humans towards Humanity.. By contrast, the many
arrogant trivialities which may seem brightly shining over the political and
moral horizons now-a-days are only
spotlights with very limited energy and much shorter autonomy. And for those I
bring the following quote of which I’m certain about their incapacity to grasp.
“Our most profound fear is not being inadequate.. Our most profound fear is being powerful
beyond any limit”.
Nelson Mandela (giving his 1994 office acceptance
speech)
Pass On The Word.
