Famous But Not Significant
Dennis Prager had a woman caller that has showed enormous courage, optimism and fight, despite suffering from a debilitating disease confining her to a wheel chair. She told him that she was happy in defiance of all the adversity that she has encountered.
His response was that she was a great, significant woman, not famous but significant. He offered that many famous people are fluff in essence, insignificant people.
He is wise once again. My dream, which will come about, would be for every or most young people to be trained in the art and science--that living religious act of worship of the Divinity--of maverizing. That genuine effort, per person, will make each of them great and significant. If fame would follow, that would be acceptable, but no big deal. Each knows what he is, and performs for his own sake, whether the world provides acknowledgement and accolades or not.
