“He once reminded us: ‘We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.’
He was not making a geopolitical argument. He was making a moral one.
Today Gaza confronts this Assembly with the same question that apartheid once posed to the world. Does international law apply equally to everyone?
If the answer depends on geography...
If it depends on alliances...
If it depends on military strength…
If it depends of race…
If it depends on religion…
Then it is no longer law. It is power. And its opposite is oppression.
Mandela knew war. He understood violence. But he also understood that the systematic erosion of human dignity can never become the price of political expediency”- @RediTlhabi
Desperation has a smell.
People can feel it before you even speak. The forced energy, the chasing, the trying-too-hard shit, it shows. Whether it's attention, love, success, or validation, desperation pushes things away instead of pulling them closer. And yeah, that sucks to hear, but calm confidence always wins over needy energy. The moment your happiness depends on being chosen, approved, or noticed by everyone else, you start losing yourself. Real power comes from being good on your own, staying grounded, and moving with purpose instead of panic. Because the truth is, the less desperately you beg life to happen for you, the more naturally things begin to flow your way. Stop forcing every damn thing. What's meant for you won't need that much bullshit chasing.
