Goodness and Greatness


All men are different, if only in their DNA which is apt to the circumstance as it reinforces the concept hugely. 

No two or other number of men are the same.

There are all kinds of men. Some are short, some tall, some thin, some fat, but these are physiological aspects.

Many feeble men are mental giants. Go and talk to the genius in the wheelchair.

The impact that some men make is not related to their physiology, but more so to their outlook and their mentality. 

How many fat men do you know that you like? It seems to me that most fat men are likeable because it's not for how they look, it's for what they are.

"The difference between men is energy. A strong will, a settled purpose, an invincible determination, can accomplish almost anything and in that lies the distinction between great men and little men".  

I quote something I read somewhere, yet something so true that we all look towards that energy, that something, which makes the difference between good and great, some thing so sadly lacking in our society, it seems, that we have few great men in T&T

Where do we find a great man in T&T today? Where is the next Anthony Pantin?

It seems that all the great men have disappeared  so we now have to settle for the mediocre men, which does not make for a safe society. Today's leaders in politics and in sociology have failed and continue to fail us miserably. The mediocre men.

The inescapable conclusion is that it is the duty of those of us who are good to aspire to greatness, yet most of us have so far failed miserably to do so.

I'm sorry I know this was a serious piece but the reference to Hawking had me in stitches
