"A man who makes himself an ideal, or more specifically an idea, can never truly die.
His ideals, his idea, will always live on in the hearts of those who harbor and shelter it.
A man who does not serve an ideal is a man more broken than a man burdened with all the fear in the world.
The man with the ideal can lean on it in times of pain and struggle and use its power to boost his own."
~ Darth Necrom, Lord of the Sith
Agree with the sentiment? Disagree? Was he wrong? Got any personal experience or perspective on this?
Thoughts on whether an individual is better off - or worse - for entertaining, embracing or building them?
Do you have any of your own, or any that you're averse to? Are you aware of their origins?
Are their roots external or internal? Given, accepted, imposed, nurtured from within, forged..?
Where do ideals and ideas fit into your paradigm? Have you thought much about it?
