The light struggles to break through the darkness and succeeds little by
little!
It is amazing isn't it? In the darkest of rooms one little weak light is clearly visible yet in the bright daylight darkness is banished completely.
Many things are hidden from us. In evil times a small thing which seems of little significance holds great importance, yet in times of enlightement when things are good we fail to see the shadow of the shark swimming below the surface of the bright ocean of light.

It is really sad that people generalize from people of a certain ethnic background who abuse their position to the general populace of that same group. As a "white" South African it is easy to understand how unfair such generalization can be. Simply because some distant relatives abused their power and suppressed the rights of others has caused hatred towards all of us. Even those who did not support the government who abused their power were still labeled as racist bastards and are getting murdered as we read and write here. The murder of many of your ethnicity by racial supremacists is a clear and tragic example of the stupidity of such generalizations. I sincerely hope we can work towards tolerance along all lines of division. Unfortunately we find selfish and stupid people of all races and other groupings in positions of power all over the world.
