Great men, like great epochs, are explosive material in whom tremendous energy has been accumulated; their prerequisite has always been, historically and physiologically, that a protracted assembling, accumulating, economizing and preserving has preceded them – that there has been no explosion for a long time.

This was a page I merely opened randomly and my eyes instantly were drawn to the words – I can relate to this volatile tendency. However, volatile doesn’t necessarily equal bad. It is a fragile idea I carry, a seedling week and vulnerable – however, if allowed to grow will root firmly into the ground and it can then stand against the ages. I identify with the timing issue as well, I’ve come at a time when the mundane, lack of potential and hopeless outlook firmly held the situation. Anyway… I could carry on longer into my thoughts of this however I will leave it for now.
