In the past centuries, great people have lived and died. Gandhi, Einstein, Darwin and Confucius are some of the many great people that influenced the lives of so many around them.
The people I mentioned above had an impact on the thought processes of peoples. And as time passes and their existence becomes a distant memory, their ideals and actions will either become stronger or fade away. Time makes them great. Reflection of what they did and said makes them great.
Greatness is relative though. For many, parents are great, friends are great, pets, poets, scientists, philosophers or doctors are great. It just depends on the experiences and associations one has.
How is greatness achieved? As William Shakespeares ‘Twelfth Night’ proclaims, ‘Be not afraid of greatness: some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.’
And of course, with greatness comes responsibility.
