Long Walker To Freedom

Anonymous

Last week the world lost a true giant. Everyone has been deeply saddened by the passing of an icon this past month, someone who left a deep mark upon the world and whose actions touched the world-wearied hearts of many.

Nobody took the surprise death of Fast and Furious actor Paul Walker worse than the ex-president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela. His last words were reportedly: “He was the icon of a gen- eration, Vin Diesel will be just a shadow. The struggles that Paul endured and the burdens he bore are a testament to the human spirit. The sacrifice in his self- imposed typecast prison in six and a half Fast and Furious Films must serve to ele- vate us momentarily off this mortal coil”.

After learning of the death of the Silver Screen giant, Mandela was said to have gently faded away.
