I don't often post on here, but I wanted to pay tribute to a great man who has passed away today. I only had the honour of briefly meeting him once, but he had such a wonderful presence, even if I only shook his hand. He was an inspiration to so many, including myself, and I believe the world needs more positivity like he showed every day.
It doesn't take much to brighten someone's day and make a change, spread a little joy, a little hope, and maybe one day we can be the world Madiba dreamed of.
"No one is born hating another person because of the colour 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." Nelson Mandela, The Long Walk To Freedom, 1995.
