TOPIC：ISSUE 36 - "The greatness of individuals can be decided only by those who live after them, not by their contemporaries."
WORDS：415          TIME：0:38:54          DATE：2006-1-23

It is true that great individuals are decided always by those who live after them, although sometimes the contemporaries have already recognized their greatness.

The ideas of great individuals are generally beyond ordinary people's comprehension, since they develop their advanced viewpoints based on their imagination and creativity which may seem to be too ridiculous or false to understand( in other words, their ideas have exceed the history and the realism). For example, Einstein, an outstanding scientist who developed the theory of relativity which better interprets the essence of substance than its ancestors, was denied by almost every expert in his days; Vincent Van Gogh, an excellent artist, died in the circumstance of misunderstanding, scorn and sneer. These illustrations just reflect the old saying that talents are all lonely.

On the other hand, as is known to all, every truth needs the test of a long-term practice, so does the greatness of individuals. One cannot hasty judge the greatness of a current celebrity, or he/she would make mistakes: Hitler, the sinner of the human society, who contributed greatly to the Germany military and economy, was loved by nearly all Germany before the World War II, but how can we conclude that he was just a great man? Therefore, we need time（even several generations） to tell us whether the views and actions benefits future generations, or whether there are some vital mistakes in the ideas--just like the process lasted for almost half a century during which other people accepted Einstein's profound thoughts little by little.

Nevertheless, in some conditions, the greatness of an individual can be admitted immediately after he/she put up his/her ideas, especially in the fields of art and politics: Mozart, Vinci, Beethoven were already regarded as talents when young; Gandhi and Lincoln were honored by everyone before they died. However, such situations can only appear in the society which is filled with the spirits of democracy, humanity and rationality: after Washington led American to win the independence, he was esteemed by every freeman; in the period of Renaissance, every artist like Vinci and Michelangelo received respect from both the public and the nobility. In a word, those great men fortunately enjoyed their deserved glories just in their days, but this does not mean that they can avoid the test of history.

In conclusion, although sometimes the greatness of individuals can be realized by their contemporaries, most of them can only wait to be accepted by the future generations.

Therefore, we need time, even several generations, 插入语用逗号隔开就好了to tell us whether the views and actions benefits future generations, or whether there are some vital mistakes in the ideas一般来说，发现证明错误的时间周期要短的多，就像后面的例子，这里个人以为这样说可能相对顺一点( or wether there are valuable gold hideing in unusuall idea )--just like the process lasted for almost half a century during which other people accepted Einstein's profound thoughts little by little.

Nevertheless, in some conditions, the greatness of an individual can be admitted immediately after he/she put up his/her ideas, especially in the fields of art and politics: Mozart, Vinci, Beethoven were already regarded as talents when young; Gandhi and Lincoln were honored by everyone before they died. However, such situations can only appear in the society which is filled with the spirits of democracy, humanity and rationality: after Washington led American to win the independence, he was esteemed by every freeman; in the period of Renaissance, every artist 这里最好不要用every,文艺复兴时期的艺术家大多都是非常凄惨的，特别是在早期，即使是Da Vinci作用至多也是皇室的“科技顾问”而已，Michelangelo 还算是善终，可是终生的作品都是为统治阶级的炫耀的工具，用作教会教堂的装顶和贵族的墓室更不要提数不清的艺术家了 like Vinci and Michelangelo received respect from both the public and the nobility. In a word, those great men fortunately enjoyed their deserved glories just in their days, but this does not mean that they can avoid the test of history.

In conclusion, although sometimes the greatness of individuals can be realized by their contemporaries, most of them can only wait to be accepted by the future generations.
