Today, a friend had posted this on Facebook. I was so moved by it. I am always fascinated by ordinary people, the unchanging humdrum of their lives and the apparent simplicity of it all. Yet, there are moments in the lives of these ordinary people that makes them rise above themselves and do things that they would have never imagined possible of them.
It was a moment like that in Pietermaritzburg that made an unknown lawyer the moral compass of the entire world. A moment that made Rosa Parks, a middle aged African American woman a surprising hero of the Civil Rights movement in the United States. Must have been that moment that made Prabhakaran an internationally marked terrorist. A moment that also made Nathuram Godse.
Here's to the moments that make us.
