HEROES

Many if not most would agree that we do not live in an                HEROIC AGE                            

                    BUT YET WE ALL HAVE HEROES - PAST And CURRENT -

So I ask myself who are my heroes - and there are some I consider heroic - for different reasons.

This past Sunday I was minded that for many years I had admired John Henry Newman - and I still do.

Of course as we grow older and a bit more wise we come to the realisation that our heroes often have feet of clay - and that's just fine.

SOME FIGURES OR THE WORK OF THAT I ADMIRE - Not necessarily heroes:

Racine

Thomas Jefferson

Annie Ernaux

John Cheever

Tennesse Williams

Jimmy Carter

WHERE THERE ARE HEROS THERE ARE INEVITABLY VILLAINS!

White hats vs. Black hats

Some villains - public and personal - A sample from recent events:

Mark Meadows

Jim Jordan

Donald Trump
