I posted something on my Facebook, and I think that the world has lost one of it's great visionaries. How far he moved the world forward! How did his actions affect you and your life? Thoughts?

A sad day.
Reading your post I immediately thought that personally I wasn't really affected by his life and actions, but of course I was. The anti apartheid movement was a powerful force during my teens and twenties, and the campaign to Free Nelson Mandela really awakened my sense of political injustice.
His release in 1990 was a pivotal moment in history, and his life story just shows how much 1 man can achieve.
I am glad the South African people are dancing and singing outside his home, celebrating his life and achievements, as that seems quite fitting.

? Huh ?
I guess he affected me because I'm black and he basically revolutionised the worlds most recent apartheid country finally! Bringing every creed and colour together.The fact he had to go to jail for 27 years and dealt with all of that for his beliefs is amazing! I was only 6 or 7 in 1990 when he was released but I can remember it and thought it was amazing even then!

Damn did i miss the nelson/morgan comments? Lol .. I'm not a political person whatsoever however, i do feel extremely sad that he has passed 
without a doubt one of the most loved people in politics.

My 11 year old daughter has been learning all about South Africa & more so Nelson Mandela this term & only yesterday they had their class assembly to tell us what they'd learnt about him. (Their class is even called Mandela, instead of Year 5/6 now)
At the end they sang the Freeee Nelson Mandela song & we all went home humming & singing the song.
To then hear the sad news later that evening was actually quite emotive. What an inspirational man he was. We need more people like him in the world!

Oh what a shock to read and how sad ...I didn't know as hadn't had chance to see the news today. He had struggled with illness for such a long time hadn't he bless him. We were lucky enough to go to his 90th birthday party in Hyde Park and he was amazing. I have never seen such a huge crowd stand so quietly and really listen and watch anyone in that way, very special :Love:
Me too
He was a truly inspirational man who should never, ever be forgotten. Heaven just gained an angel on earth.
Me too!

Abbie was just being honest! I think she may have deleted her post. She's probably feeling bad already without being made feel worse. Can we forgive? I'm sure that's what Nelson Mandela would want xx
I'm not sure if forgive is the right word (for me anyway). I'm not angry or have any negative feelings towards Abbie. I am just genuinely sad that she didn't know about this great man until now. That can be overlooked, but it still leaves me sad all the same. No hard feelings Abbie. X
