good or bad that is the question

Why is it that the greatest people are also the humblest? When a person is truly great, not just wealthy or powerful, witty or wise, but truly honorable, he isn't aware of his greatness. People that shaped the world with thier lives are not easily forgotten. They are men and women that people marvoul at. The thing is that there is really no man that is better then another as far as prefection goes for we are all stained. Everyone has a weakness. Some of us are worse then others perhaps but no one is the standard of goodess for no man or woman is really good.

The closer one comes to being good the harder it is for him to realize it. That is a gift from God in the form of logic. For it is said that pride is a sin. If a man who is considered good thinks of himself as such then he would posses an arrogance that could be called pride. Therefore the very good for which he is proud is no good at all because it takes but one sin to make a man truly bad. Therefore a truly good man does not know he is good, but rather thinks of himself as the worst of sinners.

Usually, the greatest people are humblest; for example, Mr. Reagan.
However, some great people aren't humble; for example, Rush Limbaugh.

The point is the definition that the you give 'great' makes all the difference. People may seem great, yet when the going gets tough they are as weak as a child.
