The glory days of Mandela

Listening to Beyond's "Glorious Years" and then want to know about the life of Mandela, the founding father of South Africa, I learned about Maddie, 27 years in prison, second wife Winnie, and the abuse Winnie received in prison, the death of her eldest son In the car accident, the death of his mother while he was imprisoned, the spear of the nation, these words, a feeling of admiration are palpable, thinking of Somerset Maugham's "The Moon and Sixpence", all the tragic sacrifices that idealism must pay to achieve its goals. The price, if such a price falls on my head, I may go completely mad.

Mahatma Gandhi, also one of the great figures of the 20th century, adopted a completely different approach from Mandela in the face of British rule. Although his policy of non-violence and non-resistance did not cause more bloodshed , but the liberation of India was prolonged, and the fruits of the final victory were stolen. Mandela's choice of forgiveness from the crit resistance in his youth to the forgiveness he chose after he was released from prison has to be admirable. It is very difficult to forgive a person who has insulted himself. It is even more difficult for people. From fighting to choosing forgiveness later, what a big heart is needed!

Mandela's glory days, from the first for rights to later for freedom. A lifetime may be just like what is written in Beyond's lyrics: "Hold your freedom in the wind and rain, after a lifetime of struggles, self-confidence can change the future, ask who can do it."

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom quotes

  • Nelson Mandela: I have walked a long walk to freedom. It has been a lonely road, and it is not over yet. I know that my country, was not made to be a land of hatred. No one is born hating another person because the color of his skin. People learn to hate. They can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart.
