What’s in a Name?


Adding your name to a memorial named after a great man does not make you a great man. It makes you a small man. Not only small, but vain. Vain beyond the normal bounds of what could reasonably expected of a vain person. The only person that would do such a thing is someone that, in their heart, knows they have done nothing to deserve such an honor, but desire it anyway. Recognition of greatness can only be granted by others, not self-awarded. The honor can only be granted after serious evaluation of a person’s actual accomplishments.
