After Nelson Mandela became president of South Africa, he went to a restaurant with his security guards. Everyone ordered their favorite food and started waiting for the food.
At the same time, a person was also waiting for food near Mandela's chair. Mandela asked his bodyguards to invite the man to his table as well.
After the ordered food came, everyone started eating. That person also started eating. But his hands and body were shaking while eating. Streams of sweat were running down his forehead. After eating, the man bowed his head and quickly left the hotel.
After the man had finished eating, Mandela's security officer said to Mandela - Mr. President, that man looks very ill. His hands and body were constantly shaking while eating. He was also sweating. And he looked very scared.
Mandela said - You think that the reason why the person's hands and body are shaking is not an illness. In fact, the person in the prison where I was imprisoned was the jailer of that prison.
Mandela went on to say - when he was torturing me, I would scream for water because I couldn't bear the pain, then he would urinate in my mouth.
Mandela said again - now I am the president of the country. Maybe he thought I would treat him the same way. But my character is not like that. I think that acting out of vindictiveness leads to destruction rather than development. Only if we have a mindset of patience and tolerance, we can all progress towards development.
