An essay on greatness
Let us commence a journey into the much travelled topic of greatness. At first glance greatness may seem unenchanting, however its study is a necessity for any one wishing to intellectually advance beyond their childhood. While much has been written on its influence on contemporary living, it is important to remember that ‘what goes up must come down.’ It is estimated that that greatness is thought about eight times every day by the over 50, trapped by their infamous history. Hold onto your hats as we begin a journey into greatness.
Social Factors
As Reflected in classical mythology society is complicated. The immortal and indispensable phrase ‘honesty is the best policy’ [1], contrary to my learned colleague Sir George Allen’s recent publication ‘Into the eye of , could not have been referring to eighteenth century beliefs regarding society. A society without greatness is like a society without knowledge, in that it bravely illustrates what we are most afraid of, what we all know deep down in our hearts.
Status, Security, Fame - greatness, all revolve around this 'golden fleece'. It grows stonger every day.
Economic Factors
Is unemployment inherently bad for an economy? Yes. We will study the Lead-a-Duck-to-Water model, which I hope will be familiar to most readers. Average
Wage
greatness
What a splendid graph. Obviously the average wage looms over greatness this cannot be a coincidence. What it all comes down to is money. Capitalists love greatness.
Political Factors
Posturing as concerned patriarchs, many politicians guide the electorate herd to the inevitable cattle shed of 'equal opportunity.' Comparing current political thought with that held just ten years ago is like comparing greatness and former Wolves striker Steve Bull.
Take a moment to consider the words of a legend in their own life time, Maximilian Woodpecker 'Political idealists must ideally deal, for I daily list my ideals politically.' [2] Considered by many to be one of the 'Founding Fathers' of greatness, his words cannot be over-looked. Perhaps the word which sums up the importance of greatness to politics is 'participation'.
Why did greatness cross the road? - To get to the other side! Just my little joke, but lets hope that greatness doesn't inspire similar hilarity in the next elections.
Conclusion
What can we conclude? Well, greatness plays a large part in the lives of all. It enriches, influences the influencers, and never hides.
What a great essay. Finally a word from super-star Clint Love Hewitt: 'You win some, you loose some, but greatness wins most often.' [3]
