The King

Kahlil Gibran once said:
"You give a little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give." 

If there has ever been 1 man that personifies this quote, it is the greatest man that has ever lived - Nelson Mandela! A man born into a land that rightfully belonged to him yet was stolen by European discoverers who then created a living hell for him and his people. Many people fairly felt angry and hurt that their own land had been stolen from them, many acting in violence and impulse... 

Out of the torment and painful flames of a country split by skin colour, rose a soldier that instead of using his anger to spark violence he channeled his anger into an unbreakable cement that paved a great future for us all ... 
He did not fight for ownership of hi rightful land, no he fought for a land that everyone shared. He fought for a nation where racial segregation was a thing of the past, a nation that resembled the Beaty after a storm, a nation that symbolised a strikingly gorgeous RAINBOW... 

Stay tuned for more ;) 
An emergency calls....
