You've left me a little stunned with this one, Matt. "...must have rarely compromised and proceeded with their aims unmoved by the quick-changing fads and popularity contests of their time. They must have striven for something higher than what life could provide and what death could end, ...those tapped in to a bigger purpose, dedicating themselves to a life not centered on themselves, but on others....I’m aware of no statues depicting one whose to greatest quote was, 'It depends'" Really powerful reflections.
Hey Matt, great work as usual. Had many thoughts about this topic and ones mind could wander for many days contemplating the paragons of life, time, presence and awareness of self and striving to help others.
We are far more capable of being good as we are all born with the capacity of being great. Also you may never realise your own greatness as the statue most often comes after the man has fallen; others often only realise greatness when there is nothing more to harvest, when there is nothing left of man but dust.
Just think of that the next time you blow dust off a book, lol. Keep er lit Matt, 🤪

Well young sir, as a devoté of Shakespeare, particularly Hamlet, then too Saints John and Paul and Beckett to boot, I must say this was an outstanding "piece of work." You managed to even quote, at the end, perhaps my favorite line "the readiness is all." Much of my writing comes out of the above mentioned sources. Let me just cut to the chase again, and say what a boon to me this was...top shelf, mate.
Vaya con Dios, mi amigo!
