Greatness

The people that amaze me the most are not just simply the 'great' ones but the ones who are able to carry greatness inside of them and also carry so much humanity. They are able to balance the ordinary with the extraordinary. They make it work in such a way that people can connect with them and be inspired to be like them without percieveing it as unattainable because their greatness has a human face and heart. If ever anyone percieve me as great may they see my human face and be inspired to reach for the greatness within them too for greatness is of  little value  if it isn't reproduced in anyone else but instead intimidates people and perishes with the holder.

    i agree, greatness should flow from the "holder" seeing as it came to him from inspiration by someone else. Greatness is of little significance to the great if it does not inspire great acts from those who revere them.
