You do something well enough, with sufficient conviction, reason, passion and inspiration, it shall make an indelible mark, and last forever. That is the definition of classic, of standing the tests of time to become immortal. This is the power of writing, of poetry, philosophy and works of allegiance between strong mind and stout, guiding heart. Everyone recognizes their power when they read it. Everyone knows a truth when they come upon it, even when they refuse to acknowledge it because it contradicts their interests or ego. It is only and forever such works that can lead us to where we are going.
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." - Martin Luther King Jr.
