When I listen to Mandela's speeches, and I consider the entire history of our country, I can say that respect the man. Many people around the world could say this, but I say this knowing that he had blood on his hands.
This is something I want to emphasise, It is something a lot of people I see are incapable of. Where you find a man against another he will refuse to see the good of that man, and where you find a man that is for another man he will refuse to see the bad.
It is time for us to stop allowing ourselves to be polarised, and it is also time for us to start uprooting the sophists among us. Once the sophists are shut up or wounded in their attempts those who have stepped through the fire of philosophy will have enough sane people to speak to.
This was a very pleasant post, and I hope my ranting does not take away from it in anyway. I am glad I found another South African here
No, you have not and thank you for your reply, you can go to @bigbear, she is my wife and also South African.
She always writes stories for children about South Africa and is busy with Cape Town. You can go and look at her stories if you have children. They are very nice and she is always saying no one from South Africa read her stories.
