CHOICE determines OUTCOME.
Which is "GREATER"? Being REGARDED AS someone "great" or choosing my path in such a way that the results bring "the greatest" satisfaction to ME and that affirms other beings, making THEM feel GREAT about themselves? Here's the CART...There's HORSE...Which will it be?
It's quite curious that I would thrive to be perceived as GREAT in the eyes of another when I cannot even perceive myself as such. The very idea seems to illustrate the definition of "delusional"...!
