freedom-fighter

I cannot pinpoint a moment when I became politicized, when I knew that I would spend my life in the liberation struggle. To be an African in South Africa means that one is politicized from the moment of one's birth, whether one acknowledges it or not...His life is circumscribed by racist laws and regulations that cripple his growth, dim his potential, and stunt his life...I had no epiphany, no singular revelation, no moment of truth, but a steady accumulation of a thousand slights, a thousand indignities, a thousand unremembered moments, produced in me an anger, a rebelliousness, a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people. There was no particular day on which I said, From henceforth I will devote myself to the liberation of my people; instead, I simply found myself doing so, and could not do otherwise.

The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is a matter of perspective: it all depends on the observer and the verdict of history.

Lose your freedom, and become a slave by borrowing.

Some would say that they are terrorists. Others would say that they are freedom fighters. It depends on which side of the flames you are on...

The car bomb is the poor man__ air force.

A freedom-fighter is a slave to freedom.

... what it really was like to live a life determined by the struggle to be free, as desert dwellers' days are determined by the struggle against thirst and those of dwellers amid snow and ice by the struggle against the numbing of cold.

MANDELA: " a man deemed to be the greatest icon in Africa. his life thought me couple of lessons that always inspires me to strive hard for respect and to make an impact on humanity. may his footsteps continue to live for ever on the sands of time.

And, when the revolutionary cries that he is fighting for __reedom_, be sure to go running away from him just as fast as you can, for you can be damned certain he__ fighting for the freedom to tell you what to do.

Freedom is an expensive gift always worth fighting for. Even if it costs us!
