Summary

This quote emphasizes that true greatness in humans is not measured by material possessions or positions of authority. Instead, it lies in the qualities of one's character and the goodness they possess. It acknowledges that all humans are flawed and imperfect, but it suggests that at the core, every individual is born with inherent goodness. This suggests that regardless of our faults and weaknesses, we have the potential to cultivate and display qualities such as kindness, empathy, and moral integrity, which ultimately define our greatness.

Many divorces are not really the result of irreparable injury but involve, instead, a desire on the part of the man or woman to shatter the setup, start out from scratch alone, and make life work for them all over again.
