After the loss of the great Nelson Mandela, the world has indeed become much poorer. This great person came out of the jail after 27 years and could forgive the ones who put him in there in the first place. His quote ''Forgiveness liberates the soul" continues to haunt me. 8th December is the South Africa's National Day of prayer and reflection for Nelson Mandela. Why dont we pay him a tribute for one day and be grateful for giving us his philosophy of forgiveness. Maybe we could try not to bash, criticize and also try to forgive the ones we do not like in the house for just one day, that is 8th December. You can praise your favorites all you want but not at the expense of the ones you do not like. what do you say?

Two more great quotes form the real superman...
  1. Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies.
  2. "As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison."
    -Nelson Mandela

Just a gentle reminder, it is 8th December (IST) already I am going to try to put the great nelson Mandela's teachings in my thoughts and will try to forgive the ones I do not like, for just one day. If you wish it will be great you can try too.

I am not sure if any of you have tried, thank you if you have. May our soul be in peace, I am sure Nelson Mandela's will be, after this loss I am a little more concerned about us than him. 😳
Best wishes to all
