    Nelson Mandela is dead

    Nelson Mandela has died. What a great man. If every human being was like him, we'd all live in peace and harmony.

    RIP. Prayers go out to his family and the South African population.

    At the moment the South African president is having a live announcement. All I've heard is that he's on his deathbed but the tweets are going everywhere that he has already passed.

    I read that he couldn't get the armed revolution he initially wanted so it was peace by default.

    May he rest in peace.

    While he had a controversial past to say the least, the world has lost a great man.

    ‘golden repair’, is the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer. The aesthetic philosophy focuses on imperfections rather than attempting to disguise them, with the intention that the piece becomes both more valuable and more beautiful because of its history and for having been broken.

    Well learning a bit more. It seems he had a hand in the apartheid nonsense(I'm assuming it was bad). I know his name but I don't know very much about him.

    Well, it was going to happen anyway. Nobody lives forever.

    May this great man go in peace.

    He did not let his past define him, something a lot of us could do well to learn.
