‘On True Greatness’

To the editor:

A recent (unsolicited) Trump MAGA mailing got me to thinking, what is greatness?

Foremost seems to be “otherness.” Great people don’t have to tell anyone they’re great. Being “great” isn’t a goal in their life. Their first concern is that others’ lives can be bettered through their time, talents and resources. Non-transactional, no lust for personal gain.
