Greatness (4/4/09)
What is greatness, what makes something or someone great as opposed to good or just okay?  Isn't great subjective like for instance, I think a movie is great and someone else thinks it is just good or I really liked the fish dinner, thought it was great and you don't like fish?  So then, how does one become great?  Is he defined great because of who is or what he does?  What if I think I am a great painter and yet someone who is supposed to know art looks at it and declares it horrible?  Who is to say who is a great artist, poet, writer, sculptor, painter, singer, actor?  Is it just that enough people, a vast majority come to the same conclusion, therefore deeming something great or otherwise? If just one person was to proclaim something great, would it make it so?  Does this then mean that we have to consider other people's opinions when it comes to greatness, or is it that people are not necessarily great, just what they do can be called great?  I think people who do great things don't necessarily start off thinking that greatness will be the end result, they do it because they are following their bliss.
