Since everybody was writing about Mandela, I thought I should share what I think too. I haven't researched much other than a few articles that told me about his death and what kind of person he was.
Paul Walker's death filled my Facebook news feed with friends' statuses paying him tribute. Responses to Mandela's death were comparatively less, but did give me a view of people's knowledge of Mandela. The Time reported that his name was high on the list of most admired people. My major observation was that people knew about him. Even better, they know he was a good person. It will be long before someone like him emerges and gives people a reason to believe there are good people in the world. But Mashable shared his quote this Morning which I quote here too, "Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great. You can be that generation." I don't know his biography so well but know a vague gist of it. But all these quotes coming up about him and from him, overall makes me conclude that he was a good person. That is the general view. I will be better off if I accept that, just like the whole world is doing.
He was going to go, I hope the world has planned early on, even before he was gone, what will the new strategy be in a world without him.
