Nelson Mandela aroused so much emotion in so many, and yet few knew he was a man who could not cry. Mandela was born into royalty, his great-grandfather a tribal king, but as part of the daily grind of imprisonment he’d been forced to work in a limestone quarry. He could not have known the corrosive glare effect the limestone would have. It cost him his tear glands and Nelson Mandela could not cry. This moves me still.
