==Description==

Since the publication of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Galton Francis Galton]’s ''Hereditary Genius'' in 1869, and especially with the [[accelerated]] development of intelligence tests in the early 1900s, there has been a vast amount of [[social scientific]] [[research]] published relative to the question of ‘'''greatness'''’. Much of this research doesn’t actually use the term ‘great’ in [[describing]] itself, preferring terms such as ‘eminence’, ‘[[genius]]’, ‘exceptional achievement’, etc. Historically the major [[intellectual]] battles over this [[topic]] have focused around the questions of ‘[[nature]] vs [[nurture]]’ or ‘[[person]] vs [[context]]’. Today the importance of both [[dimensions]] is accepted by all, but disagreements over the [[relative]] importance of each are still [[reflected]] in variations in [[research]] emphases.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greatness]

[[Greatness]], and its [[complement]], [[goodness]], are the two humanly understandable pillars of [[Deity]]'s [[nature]] and His eternal oneness [[reality]]. As your [[comprehension]] becomes enlarged, these [[dual]] attributes experientially grow in [[magnitude]] [[simultaneously]] with the growth in their comprehension. [[Goodness]] begins as the comprehension of the [[magnitude]] of deeds. The [[reality]] is later understood that greatness is a measure of [[human]] [[character]] and goodness is the [[motivator]] of the great. Further on, as comprehension evolves, do greatness and goodness become intertwined as [[divine]] character [[traits]] that simultaneously are the [[works]], and also, the motivator or me [[source]] of works. God is great through His good [[works]] and also is good through His great works.

 

The [[measure]] of a great deed is the extent that it was [[motivated]] by [[goodness]], and good deeds are [[measured]] by the greatness of the [[ideals]] which spawned them. [[Learning]] thus to motivate and [[inspire]] our lives by comprehending [[goodness]] and [[aspiring]] to greatness propels [[humanity]] forward by the increasing awareness of the [[reality]] of these great spiritual [[facts]]. Mercy is the [[inevitable]] son of goodness and greatness. [[Wisdom]] is the inevitable child of these great [[spiritual]] realities, [[goodness]] and [[mercy]]. As you are slowly [[learning]] to experience [[wisdom]], it always shows the way to [[mercy]] and goodness combined as greatness.

 

None of that which men [[esteem]] as greatness contains its [[reality]] except where it is [[merciful]] and [[good]]. Goodness in the human [[experience]] is vastly inferior to its spiritually pure [[source]], so benighted has your [[experience]] become. As the years [[progress]] toward greater civilized [[achievement]], will the men who hold these [[attributes]] aloft shine forth the way for [[the multitudes]].
