True greatness...

A shallow mind censors itself from questions of eternity, often treating matters as such irrelevant and abstract. Oh the poison of practicality corrupting the mind! An average mind begins to ponder on questions of eternity, intrigued by the philosopher's questions but stop short at answering, or attempting to answer, them. Such is the mind that cannot contain the weight of eternity and falls into depression. The great mind is then set apart by the sheer attempt to organize questions of eternity into understandable categories followed by the construction of possible and plausible responses through the interaction with traditions of intellectual enquiries. Great is he who braves the mysteries of eternity. Yet, the greatest of them all, is the mind that, having gone through the storms of puzzlement, refused to slide back into depression or claim absoluteness to its construction. In the true sense of greatness, this mind understands its own position in the vastness of eternity and places the whole enterprise of enquiry at its right place and season.
