What is Greatness? (Was Lennon Wrong?)

This is John Lennon: 



       He once said that he was the Walrus. The later corrected himself and said Paul McCartney was the Walrus. It now appears that he is wrong once more. In reality, Friedrich Nietzsche was the Walrus:




       A question which comes up in all our busy brains at one point is the following: what is greatness? This same question tickled by brain as if I had consumed a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. So tell me, what is greatness? I've heard that Lennon was great (he was also wrong). I've heard Jesus was great. I've seen mugs labeled: World's Greatest Mom. So I wonder, what is greatness? Nietzsche, being the mathematical type, developed a formula. Thank you Nietzsche! His formula for greatness in a human being is Amor Fati

There are many voluntary organizations which will help to rehabilitate you after you've had one.
