I sometimes wonder about Great Men.
Did they feel unsure of themselves?
Did Dr. King ever feel unsure of himself?
Or perhaps the evil was so apparent,
Like Churchill against the Nazis.
I don't know anymore about any of it.
It's a helpless feeling really.
I'm trying to climb back on my feet.
The frustrating thing is all the others.
They're going to be stuck their forever.
I almost forgot about Plato.
Maybe I haven't and that is the problem.
Maybe I've been trying too hard.
One cannot see the light unless they want to.
Plato did say that at first, everyone was scared.
Scared of the light, scared of change.
People are inherently conservative.
Well at least the ignorant are.
You can be conservative and not ignorant.
Of course you can also be liberal and ignorant.
Not for the sake of principle, but because there's more.
Liberals give away more stuff.
So they should be more popular I guess.
I guess.

I like this, Charlie! Very nice. It made me think and I realized that I really really liked it. Did u write it? If you did, then I'm honestly not surprised because you are VERY smart, but still... it's really good.
