GOOD AND GREAT AND THE GREATEST

 ''  No one is bound to be rich nor to be wise or great but every one is bound to be sincere an honest .sincere does mean , you are careful of your husband and true to your wife , respectful to your parents and loving to your children and again faithful to your friend  honest to your duty and staunch enemy to your enemy.'' -Samual Smiles in  his title ''Character ''
To be Good , call Simple also , is one thing and to be Great is another thing .Greatness is some time gift of nature , God , as  , great scientist , poet , orator ,  artist , singer  , an architect or in High  places , is being earned by you with your potential and hard laboure.Goodness is exclusively a different  quality ( I call it Virtue ).This can be achieved by any one irrespective of  cast , creed , religion place ,  post ; position.. examples - Shabari (lady in Ram Charit Manas) was not great but good and Ravan was great but not good. Sri Rama was great and good , both. all the Greatest) . Baudha , a Prince  renounced the Kingdom and decided to be a beggar  . The names of some good but  not great - Kautilya( Chankya )Spinoza , Omar khayam , Kewat ( Boat-man )  and Hanuman a  monkey. See ! great but not good - Bacon (great writer in Enghlish prose ) the wisest  and the meanest ( who  bribed ), Indra ( the King of Gods ) who molested the pious lady Ahilya , and Dronachary the meanest great Guru .
To conclude, we  should strive  to be Great and may fail or succeed  but we all are bound to be good  ( As it need nothing to be simple and good  , kind , loving , helping ,and humane.Jesus says ,* O  man ! you are the SALT of the earth , if you loose your taste , how are you to be salted ? this salt in us is the Goodness , . .If this salt is not there in you. You  were doubted to be a MAN .Think good , Do good and Be good. those who are good ,are great and those who are good and great both , are the greatest  . Those who are only great,doubly dying shall go down to them , neither wept nor sung nor honoured when they leave this planet .
