To wish is half the story. If we can't emulate our role models in true spirit, we are bound to leave the other half of the story unfinished. This is hypocrisy. Thanks for sharing.

An insightful rendition of words set aside for sober reflection. Very brilliant, focused and factual. Remain enriched, Joshua.
