"Mourners hail Nelson Mandela's courage, conviction, 'remarkable lack of bitterness'"
From your 1st link..
I feel President Obama aspires to be like his hero, Madiba, and not carry any bitterness with him, either. It is a big waste of time and energy.
Look at what it's done to the US republicons.
Mandela showed us the power of action; of taking risks on behalf of our ideals. Perhaps Madiba was right that he inherited, “a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness” from his father. Certainly he shared with millions of black and colored South Africans the anger born of, “a thousand slights, a thousand indignities, a thousand unremembered moments…a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people.”
Like you, I can't get enough of learning new elements about Madiba's life and honoring his memory, she~
