A real lot can be said of a former shop assistant who made it to the Forbes' Lists and the Fortune 500 ranking. I envy Rosalia, but more than all we salute her for her persistence, industry, brilliance and business acumen, who did her business without much pomp and publicity - unlike so many we know who are out to grab the limelight even in the worst kind of disasters but are not effective in the kind of work that they really are meant to perform.
She was original and an activist, not peculiar to many who rose from the doldrums, and very unlike establishment types who copy ideas shamelessly from those who are struggling to be heard for the sake of worthwhile causes.
Causes, Rosalia had many. And she fought hard for them and spent for them. Unlike people who have access to wealth, who wallow in greed and never look back to those who suffer behind them; look to their left or right to those who cry out for a little love and aid; not even look forward, when up ahead one perceives with the sight of the lustful kind for just money and more money, sheer renown and more and more fame, disgusting, hateful objet de mépris that must be avoided at all cost.
The world ought to learn from those like Rosalia Mera. She will forever be more than an icon: to me she will be a poignant memory carved into my heart.
