Reflexiones con Madiba

I’m always reading your post about the “masdeunciudano” situation. It is a time for me, where I’m spending a lot of time to learn English. If I write you in this language, it is not an arrogant action because you can read a lot of mistakes in my reports. On the other hand, maybe I cannot explain all my feelings about your questions and the most important for us, the lack of communication and action among the citizens.
It is a time where every citizen should take action about their problems in the society. There are a lot of news, book and reports which indicates us that we haven’t other possibilities that continue the economic, politician power when its forces take position for our life.
My message is just opposite: everyone should take notion about his power.
I recognize that Power knows that every individual person haven’t a big importance, in the first time but if every citizen takes part in his life decision and, the most important if every citizen begin to know his real possibilities maybe this situation would change. We’re being individual but we’re always implicated in the society although some rich man appeals to our different personality but it is neccesary recognize that we are always in the world.

It is a strange time, where the mediocre politician drives their supporter to defend stupid actions. .
We haven’t any guide; we will need that everyone takes conscience about their possibilities. An extraordinaire man should always help us to take decisions; finally we have understood that this is our job.
Man must know their power but man also should know his limits

Today, we haven’t this guide but we need take action because the powerful men drove our life but we have discovered the most important idea in our life: the publicity sells us the paradise but it doesn’t explain the big cost.

Nelson Mandela, Madiba drove the crowd towards a wonderful hope. I will try to explain a book about an extraordinary and wonderful history

I have been able to read again the John Carlin book, “Invictus” (the first time, in Spanish: “el factor humano” about the important moment when South Africa takes conscience about be one nation. He describes these exciting years where Mandela, in the first time, came out the jail and he opens his mind and his arms to pacify a divide nation. All this book a marvelous story. John has look for the different point of vu. You can feel the hard situations in these moments when the right wing or black Zulus are able to drive to dark minds that lead towards the chaos and the catastrophes. Maybe, it was necessary those steps. It has been impossible some years more with that situation but Mandela took the intelligence step to fight with the love and the understanding of the other.
It is moving when Nelson look for the Constant Vijoens hand or when he receives Francois Pienaar.
The first man drives the right wing in this country; when the black people going to take the control, they think about the street fighting possibilities.
It is the moment where his brother calls him to prepare a meeting with Nelson Mandela. I imagine all the elements. Nelson has been though 27 years of his life in the jail. He knew that they were unfairs to him. On the other side, Constant always has heart that this black man was the evil.
It’s always Mandela who takes control about the situation and his looks for the Constant’s hand and he also laugh with the sunrise of an old friend.
It is the moment, where the higher wall would be destroyed, of the same way that a tsunami tombs the bigger barriers.
Then, you try to understand, to visualize that the violence of a group has the different ways and sometimes, an honest man opens a peace way if he has the nobility to come out himself to think about everybody. This action is not easy and we can usually see with poor and dishonest men but they only boost his ego and the blind supporters that believe these closed worlds.
The other exciting situation, it is when Nelson has a meeting with Francois Pienaar, this young is the captain of Springboks, the rugby man has his world around this discipline and the black problem is away of these daily concerns. Maybe, he is worrier the black people generate problems than that is the original situation.
Nelson Mandela understood that the rugby, the most important thing for the Afrikaners after their god and their ground would be the element to join his country if he could explain to Francois his projects.
From the first day, M. Pienaar understood his important role in this situation and even when his colleagues didn’t understand every step. He continued that way that Madiba and Pienaar had thought to help South Africa.
John Carlin also describe the hard moments that had to live some black men that had been jailed their last years. They had token the Country control and the easiest for them, it would have been moved away the white men of the centre control.
It is a powerful picture to imagine the hard black man that until the last moment, he doesn’t take position with the national rugby team and he will change his preferences only when he’s seing his wife and children as the Springboks supporter. If they have been able to change when they have lived without husband and father for some years then he should open his heart because his country needs an opportunity.
The white power are other important persons in this book, Botha, de Klerk and another white men understood that that was the moment to take action. The other countries in the world don’t allow the apartheid and the inside situation between the black community and the Afrikaner were dangerous and unbearable.
They had jailed Nelson Mandela for 27 years, they would like to show the black community and also the world community his power but now that was not realistic.
Nelson Mandela was an old layer and citizen that had show them his disposition to begin a new way without violence and resentment. He had learned the Afrikaner language that was the oppressive language.
From the first time, he takes control about those moments and other white men help him to decide the right way although I think Nelson had drawn every step that he thought necessary to obtain his final target.
