"My life thus far has led to very little consequence. So far, i have found no great love, made no great innovation, nor changed the world in one way or the other. Yet, all life is interconnected. Therefore, in theory, all the little actions I have done have made a small difference. I do not know what they are, but in theory, they were done.
Another conclusion, that might have some validity is that all things have the potential for greatness. It is the choices we make and the actions we performs which may or may not lead to this certain destiny. All things can evolve to greatness, but no all do. In reality, less than a quarter probably do, or do they? Who decides what greatness is? Is it fame? Wealth? Power? Love? Greatness, I suppose, is like beauty in that --- though I hate to be cliche, I nevertheless must say it --- is in the eye of the beholder. Each person you ask will have a different opinion on who or what is great. Of course, there are some things that are generally accepted as universally great, and these are the exception to the rule.
Is greatness judged only by the good in a thing or can evil things also be great? Not necessarily "evil," I suppose that antagonistic would be a better word. Some villains have done extraordinary, yet evil, deeds and have won much infamy for it. Does that make them great?
