i like to watch documentaries. love them! true stories about people, places, events...oh my gosh...it's like candy. i like them because they potentially offer a bigger picture of the who's, what's, where's, when's and how's. granted, not perfect...but potentially great!
well, i've been watching some bio's on great thinkers...the "heroes" of some.
it is soooo interesting to me that while a person may be famous for a breakthrough theory, equation, philosophy, etc, their true story actually reveals that they were guilty of being...well...a bad human.
yet...their moment of excellence is what suddenly makes everything they say, everything they are "for" or "against" into miraculous gold nuggets.
it's just interesting that the rest of life is actually the undoing of the "hero"...if we look.
some wouldn't care...i'm actually relieved because it makes uber-people into simple, normal ones.
some would totally care...wouldn't want to even hear it. rocks the pedestal a bit too much...and all the "backing" for our thoughts on things along with it.
