Do you think that Imhotep, Ben Franklin,
Leonardo da Vinci, and Archimedes would
subscribe to this list? Yeah, I do too.
So what about Buddha, Lao Tzu, Krishna,
Kabir, and Socrates? No, probably not...
having renounced renunciation and
debunked liberty, an open forum chat
might not interest them.
I imagine that men who attain greatness
have their attention primarily focused
on something other than attaining
greatness. Their greatness occurs as an
epiphenomenon, a side effect, a by
product of their obsession for
excellence, discovery, beauty,
mathematical eloquence... or whatever
defines their unique quest.
