Citation: Albert Einstein once said” Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds”.
Paraphrase: Albert Einstein basically meant that people of good nature and wise ways always have and always will have difficulty with people who don’t have a higher understanding of themselves or ways of thinking.
Proposition: Sometime people are afraid of what they don’t understand and tend to strike out at those that seem progressively ahead in mind, spirit and soul.
Reason: People commonly stick to what they know, surround themselves with people like them and remain comfortable knowing in most cases what to accept. This is natural behavior but it can become very difficult for people that think outside the box and is not what would be considered normal, Will you shine in 2009?

Contrast: Some people believe that plan and simply bad things happen to good people. It has nothing to do with that person’s state of mind or what they believe nor the action they took. They believe that things happen and that is all to it.
Comparison: These are things you even see all thru elementary school and high school. Kids picking on kids that are what we consider nerds but these children are extremely intelligent and well beyond their years in most cases but at the time other children don’t see them in that way, they are the strange kid that sits at lunch alone or the one everybody makes fun of and push around because they are different from everyone else.
Example: Mediocre minds are people of no higher understanding of anything outside themselves therefore anyone or anything that threatens their reality becomes a direct threat to these people. For instance Dr. Martin Luther King was a man of strong will that stood for civil rights and the freedom of all people regardless of race or religion but there were so many people at that time who’s whole world was based around segregation and other’s being beneath them that it was not possible for them to see the dream and common justice Dr. Martin Luther King had for us all so the mediocre minds brought mass violence against Dr. Martin Luther King and anyone else that followed him until he was finally assassinated in 1968.
Opinion: I feel that it is unfortunate when you are considered to be exceptionally intelligent, generous and have any other form of service to the betterment of human kind in any way that you in some way become a target of violence or gossip. We see things like this in everyday life with our friends, family, neighbors and associates. When you are trying to reach a higher level of success, when you are helping someone or standing your ground on issues that have a major effect on you there are always people that try to pull down your faith in yourself, what you stand for or the people you love Will you shine in 2009?
