It is easier to applaud greatness than to learn from greatness. We applaud Edward Kennedy because he helped us in 1971. But we forgot him after that until his death. He was renowned for his reaching out to opponents, fighting for great causes, compromising for the common good, putting his conscience first, inspiring and developing new talent and challenging injustice within his party and his country. We cannot even dream of such an elected official. Our leaders would honour him best by learning from him instead of pretending to understand true greatness.
