About This Quote
When a person commits suicide, it is often done out of despair and hopelessness. They believe that they have no purpose, that they are a waste to society, and that life without them is better. In the end, death is always preferable to life. In his prayer, Nelson Mandela acknowledges that God is sovereign and that God has a purpose for his life. This gives him a purpose to live for and he can continue to fight for a better world even after death.
