Do You Believe In Man?

Do you believe that society despises those few who are great or have the potential to be because the common mes feel threatened or insignificant compared to a single person's brilliant ideas and achievements? Does the average person seriously consider that a solitary man cannot become great; that one intelligent, dedicated individual does not have the capacity to enormously impact the world? There have been so many examples-- Socrates, Galileo, Ghandi, Confucious, Albert Einstein, etc. How can anyone not understand that the realm of man's true, full potential is unlimited?
