Many times a person meets with the concept of greatness on his life path. Everyone decides for himself whether to put this phenomenon at the head of his pantheon of life values. However, the one who decides to reach this peak is usually doomed to failure. Only a person who is eager to unselfishly bring goodness and help to the world can expect a response and greatness in people's memory, which he did not expect.
As an example, we can consider any media personality of the modern world. It is hard to find a person who does something for selfless purposes without having a desire to remain on the lips of the public. Undoubtedly, there are those who have gained popularity, "greatness" in someone's eyes in the process of their beneficence, but then the vortex of thirst for attention drags on, and people begin to draw attention to their actions, which stop having as their main goal the simple good.
One who is truly simple, kind and honest always remains in the shadows, not wanting unnecessary noise around his activities to be seen.
Such a person does not even think about the fact that their deeds should be rewarded with any attention or gratitude from anyone - only the goal is important to them. And this goal is truly simple and uncomplicated - to help someone who needs it.
A deputy who donates a couple of million rubles to godly institutions for the sake of raising his ratings at the elections and a woman who feeds stray cats near her house on her last money have different degrees of greatness - and the question is whether modern people will understand this difference.
