Helplessness
Man, I’m on a roll now…But this might take a few tries. Have you ever felt sometimes that you know something’s gonna happen…no matter what you do to try to prevent it you know it’s still gonna happen…Yeah that’s what I’m talking about…
I had a presentation this morning on JFK’s assassination and watched a movie later tonight about his brother’s assassination, Bobby. Sort of a chilling coincidence that I was doing the presentation the same day that the movie was showing…but back to the topic, I would like to think that both men knew that they’re at risk (especially the later after John’s assassination) whenever they’re out on a motorcade or campaigning in the public. However, they kept on with their job of serving the public’s interest….
Which brings me to my point here…What determines a person’s greatness? Is it what s/he does? Are their speeches special? Are they charismatic? And I thought none of the above mattered. No one gives a heck of what you say when you’re alive…I mean you might be a good man when you’re alive but when you’re dead, your greatness is elevated. You’re embraced and glorified…Think of examples such as the Kennedy brothers, Martin Luther King, Tupac, notorious BIG…Death is ultimate…
