Nelson Mandela "The greatest glory in living doesnt lie in never falling but in rising again every time we fall."- In looking at how these change catalysts like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela came from similar training in the legal profession,what they also shared is their deep sense of ethics and morality,the former guided by his Hindu faith in the soul force and the latter by his Christian faith and value of forgiveness and reconciliation.
- It takes men of great vision and courage to change entrenched systems so history is.biased towards the icons of liberal societies as men like Sun Yat Sen,Mao Tze Tung and Zhou En Lai also changed a thousands of year old feudal dynasty system to a communist state .
- Those who dont learn from history are bound to repeat it.
- What did the storming of the Bastille by the proletariat symbolise but a fight by the people against an unequal system of monopoly of power that caused hunger,poverty and oppression.
- So is that a parallel situation with the Sri Lankas civilian suffering of hunger,unemployment and huge national debts that caused the uprising and storming of the presidential palace?
- Is that the same in the US when domestic terrorists like the Proud Boys and Oathkeepers tried to storm Capitol Hill to overturn an elected president?
