in their passing still larger than life itself



what is it about certain people that even in their passing, they are bigger than life itself.
These people who possess qualities all humans should strive to imbue.... integrity, honour, unwavering faith in their beliefs, the desire to spread a fairness among all, a humility so deep and soft, an understanding for matters and situations challenging...even for those rebellious in mind and thought that do not understand themselves, lost in a cause detrimental to the fundamental well-being and survival of all things orderly, progressive and good.
These people have a respect for themselves and others, always careful, even in their admonishment....a reprimand, a nudge, a request to do what is right. They are not forceful of nature, peaceful in their strength, dynamic in their resilience and awed for their courage to be the first to step forward in the face of adversity, knowing when to call out a lie .
Their well-being, lies in the well-being of others. Their comfort be in the freedom and fairness bestowed on humanity. They care not for accolades and surround themselves with like-minded people who understand their calling in life.
A calling to put others before themselves. These are leaders that will never become Presidents haughty or mighty, will not be orators of propaganda. They are the ones that fight a battle different. They fight a battle with their consistent, diligent, systematic approach, never faltering, never questioning.
They feel the heartbeat of many and go out of their way to ensure that heartbeat is a healthy one and will live a long life.

I watched a funeral held in South Africa yesterday...and learnt...of the passing of a Gallant Hero...i knew so little about. Today i began to educate myself on who this Hero was and know, in doing so, my persona and soul shall be enriched. 
God rest his Soul for Eternity.
