Greatness

Most great men and women are not well-grounded personalities.
Instead they are people whose one driving enthusiasm is so great it makes
Their faults seem insignificant. (Charles A. Cerami.)a

Optimist/Pessimist

An optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds.
A pessimist fears it's true.

if you removed the rocks.

but Misery is optional.

Death may be the greatest of all human blessings.

Highly recommend the movie 27 Hours-- It's the amazing story of Aron Ralston-- from the book, Between a Rock and a Hard Place. He's the young man who was trapped in Blue John Canyon, UT and had to go to extreme measures to keep from dying.
