Ideas...

We are told to remember the idea, not the man. Because man can fail. He can be caught. He can be killed or forgotten. But even hundred's of years later, an idea can still change the world.

I've witnessed firsthand the power of ideas. I've seen people who've killed in the name of them, and died defending them. But you cannot kiss an idea. You can not touch it, or hold it. Ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain. They do not love. And it is not an idea that I miss, but a woman who told me I was alive. A woman that I will never forget.
