The Fear OF Being Great.
By Bouck White.

Sounds a bit odd, does't it?
Suggests some slip of the type
writer, or a printers mistake?
The fear of being great! Why,
bless you," you exclaim, we're
not afraid of being great. We're
afraid we won't be great"
Nothing of the sort. You're
afraid to be great. That's what
is the matter with you. And so
long as that fear has right of
way in the organization of you,
YOU won't be great. But I can't
be harsh with you. There are
excuses for this fear of yours.
To be great is to be greatly a
sufferer, greatly misunderstood,
greatly embattled, greatly aloof
and alone. To be great is to
have ones visage married more
than any man, and ones form
more than the sons of men. |
hardly can blame you for not
wishing to pay the price.
Washington paid it. And Lincoln
Both were greatly great, be-
cause greatly beset and buffeted.
Read the letter of Hamilton en-
treating Washington to accept
the Presidency when that Great
heart shrank from the task with
an utter shrinking. The dark
days of the war-defeats, i'm
poverisllment, disloyalties: do
nestle treason and foreign levy
had worn him down; so that
now he cried out for ease from
tile burden. Nor were they
cries without cause. No Presi-
dent than he was ever more
savagely villified.
And Lincoln! Man of sor-
rows, man acquainted with grief.
The show of his countenance
witnesses for him in the matter.
Costly the price he paid. The
deep, sorrowful eyes of him;
and stricken face, tell the story,
1t is known of ALL.
Yes. You're afraid to be
great; afraid to stand alone. You
choose to be like others-foal
with the tide: go with the crowd
swallowed IN a gregarl0uS no
nentity! That's the herding in
stinct, which deteriorates men
into cattle.
It's the easiest way. And will
keep your soul scrawny forever.
