About This Quote
The idea of dying for a cause is one that’s been around for centuries. It’s an idea that’s so ingrained in our culture that we think of it as the way things are supposed to be. However, Nelson Mandela disagreed with this idea. He argued that dying for a cause is not worth the trouble, and it’s not worth the risk of death. While he was fighting for freedom in South Africa, he said that every death is a tragedy, but “it is all the more tragic when death comes in an unnecessary and senseless manner.”
