When everyone around you is filled with hate, if you can manage to keep a cool head, and forgive, then you are truly great.

Nelson Mandela died tonight. Understand the way he lived, and forgave, and you have a guide for life itself. "He may be compared to the likes of Mahatma Gandhi or Mother Teresa, as a great moral figure of our times. But the myth should not overpower the reality of a humane, richly complicated, and passionate individual." Check out the many articles about his life.
