Nelson Mandella was a great soul, nevertheless. Who of us on taking power after having been imprisoned for 20 years would have led his people to accept and forgive the very people who had imprisoned him? Not me, but I greatly admire that lesson. I have no idea if he was a Christian, but that was a Christ-like action. Also a very practical action, as he needed all of South Africa's white people, who had been running the show, to make his new government work for South Africans of all colors. He kept the place from becoming another Rhodesia. en.wikipedia.org A truly great man, without question. A man to make me think humanity might be worth preserving, a man to give hope for our species. Not all of us are hopeless, totally sold out pursuers of money and power. Some of us do have a higher purpose. Like the new pope.
