Ive just heard the News that former South African presdient Nelson Mandela has passed away.

A man of great courage, conviction and a force for peace dispite the horrors that my homeland faced then and since.

I was fortunate enough to meet him once when I was a child and have never forgotten the vibrant beauty in his eyes.

RIP Madiba

Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet

Part of the seduction of most religions is the idea that if you just say the right things and believe really hard, your salvation will be at hand.

With Jediism. No one is coming to save you. You have to get off your ass and do it yourself - Me

"Death is something inevitable. When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity."
- Nelson Mandela, 1918-2013

He is an example to us all, and his legacy will not be forgotten. Something tells me we haven't heard the last of his wisdom...

A sad loss, great man... I googled quotes and found this as the first on the page... seemed fitting here at TotJO.
