Fidel Castro

Fidel Castro - 1926 - 2016

On the day of November 25th 2016, Fidel Castro a Cuban politician who may be considered a revolutionary died. His death was mourned by some, and celebrated by some. For me I decided to take a step back, and simply observe. After taking the time to think and reflect. Yes, this life was lost, many of his family members have forgiven him for the tyranny that he created. But we must never forget the abuse. The over sights of human rights abuse. His life and death and exemplify how one person can either direct a massive population towards a positive, or a negative.

His death could also be a new source of hope for the Cuban people. As the formation of President - Elect Donald Trump's  cabinet processes  - we could also think how the United States would like to proceed thier relationship with the Cuban people and leaders. Could this also be a new begining?

For those that have mourned his death, the atrocities that were inflicted to his people, the woundes and the scars will remain. As everyone trys to heal. His life example should also serve as a reminder to all. Whilst no one is perfect, we can ask - How do you want to be remembered?

My thoughts to share with love & kindness.
