Building a new inclusive nation from "summary" of Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela
The idea of creating a new inclusive nation was at the heart of our struggle. We knew that we could not simply overthrow apartheid and expect everything to fall into place. We needed to build something new, something that would bring all South Africans together, regardless of their race or background.
This was not just about tearing down the old system; it was about creating a new one that would value and respect all our people. We understood that true freedom could only be achieved if it was shared by everyone. This meant that we had to work towards a society where everyone had equal rights and opportunities, where no one was excluded or marginalized.
To achieve this goal, we had to embrace the values of unity and reconciliation. We had to find a way to move beyond the divisions that had been created by apartheid and build a nation where everyone felt like they belonged. This required a great deal of patience and understanding, as we knew that healing the wounds of the past would not happen overnight.
We also had to be willing to make sacrifices for the greater good. We had to let go of our anger and resentment and be willing to forgive those who had wronged us. This was not easy, but we knew that it was necessary if we were going to build a society based on justice and equality.
In the end, building a new inclusive nation was about more than just creating a new political system. It was about creating a new way of life, one that was based on respect, understanding, and compassion. It required us to look beyond ourselves and see the humanity in all those around us.
It was a long and difficult process, but in the end, it was worth it. We were able to create a society where everyone had a voice, where everyone had a place at the table. And while the work is not yet done, we have laid the foundation for a truly inclusive nation, one that we can all be proud of.
