Nelson Mandela, who has been in jail for 26 years, did not see the sun.
Then - Nelson Mandela became the country's president. One day he said to some of his colleagues - let's see the city today, after spending a long time as a prisoner inside the four walls, without seeing with his own eyes what his city is like. Nelson Mandela walked the streets of the city with colleagues. After being very hungry, Mandela said: - If there is a restaurant in the front corner, I want to eat there. They are surprised!
Realizing this, Mandela said there was nothing to be surprised about. I'm hungry, I'll eat. Since I did not die after eating the horrible food of the prison, I will not die so easily. Everyone is sitting at the table to eat. Not far away sits another gentleman, quite old. Mandela told the hotel waiter to bring a chair and put it next to me and tell him to sit at my table and eat.
The gentleman came. He came and sat in the chair next to me. We are talking while eating. But the man sitting next to him could not eat anything. Her hand is shaking. The food is falling from the spoon to the plate.
One of Mandela's colleagues said:
You seem sick. The man remained silent. Said nothing. Mandela fed him with his own hands and called the waiter and said - we will pay his food bill too.
At the end of the meal, the old gentleman got ready to say goodbye. But everyone was surprised to see that the man could not stand or walk well. Increasing body tremors!
Mandela helped him get up with his own hands and asked one of his colleagues to lead him to the door.
Another of the colleagues said- can he reach home with such a sick body?
At this point Mandela began to say - he is not sick. He was the guard of the cell where I was imprisoned. I was very thirsty after being severely beaten. Whenever I screamed for water, he would urinate all over my body.
Today I am the president of the country?
After being the most powerful man I invited him to eat at my table together! So he is very scared to think of those days.
But punishing people without power by being powerful is against my ideology. Itβs not part of the ethics of my life. So instead of being punished, he got love.
He urinated on my face/body.
I put food in his mouth. As I am your president, so is he. It is my moral duty to respect every citizen.
