It is actually one minute past seven in the evening as i am typing this.
Do you not just absolutely detest, hate and despise those spare moments in you're day where you do not have enough time to do something productive?
Yet, when added together , they make up a substantial part of your day?
Especially at a time like this, when exams are literally around the corner ( the van carrying the test papers could be around the corner.) .
Furthermore, i have simply noticed that wearing ones school uniform is not exactly the most comfortable piece of clothing.
seven oh five.

Can a Happy man be Remembered?
I was having a discussion with my room mate the other day on what was the importance of life. He said it was to be happy, which admittedly is a fair purpose or want in life. I said remembrance, which was then led on to being happy and being remembered.
I then seemed to have made a point that great men and women throughout history have not in the normal sense, been happy people. Although being happy may in fact be better in a lifetime, being remembered transcends throughout the ages. A happy man will not be remembered and will fade away in the sands of time, a person of greatness, though unhappy will survive the sands; as seen in the tale of Achilles.
Never has a great person who will be remembered been happy as seen in Obama, Gandhi, FDR, Achilles, Alexander, Ceaser, Atilla, Aetius, Machiavelli.
To become great, sacrifice seems to be demanded which in turn leads to unhappiness.
But as my roommate so put it, why not be happy in this lifetime, as after one dies, one does not care anymore.
But being remembered for all eternity seems to be a way to evade complete death, a way to be immortalized for all time, always being around, an escape to eternal life and remembrance , achieving immortality.
Why is this so important?
I do not know.
As a child, i was brought up on Greek and Egyptian myths, the stories of Perseus and Heracles, the epic of the fall of Troy; those who did great deeds are remembered for all of time- which in a way influenced me to a large extent.
So,
Can a Happy Man be Remembered? If anyone has an example, please reply.
