-"The hardest task one can have is to continue to love one’s fellows despite all reasons he should not.
+"What is greatness by L. Ron Hubbard.
 And the true sign of sanity and greatness is to so continue.
@@ Line 16: / Line 18: @@
 True greatness merely refuses to change in the face of bad actions against one— and a truly great person loves his fellows because he understands them.
-After all, they are all in the same trap. Some are oblivious of it, some have gone mad because of it, some act like those who betrayed them. But all, all are in the same trap—the generals, the street sweepers, the presidents, the insane. They act the way they do because they are all subject to the same cruel pressures of this universe.
+As we become stronger, we can be completely openhanded with our help. Until we do, we can at least understand the one fact that greatness does not stem from savage wars or being known. It stems from being true to one’s own decency, from going on helping others whatever they do or say or think and despite all savage acts against one; to persevere without changing one’s basic attitude toward Man.
-Some of us are subject to those pressures and still go on doing our jobs. Others have long since succumbed and rave and torture and strut like the demented souls they are.

-To re-save some of them is a dangerous undertaking. Were you to approach many ruling heads in the world and offer to set them free (as only a Scientologist can) they would go berserk, cry up their private police and generally cause unpleasantness. Indeed, one did—he was later assassinated by no desire of ours but because of the incompetence of his own fellows about him. He could have used Scientology. Instead, he promptly tried to shoot it down by ordering raids and various berserk actions on Scientology organizations. That he was then shot had nothing to do with us, but only demonstrated how incompetent and how mortal he really was.

 A fully trained Scientologist is in a far better position to understand than a partly trained one. For the Scientologist who really knows is able not only to retain confidence in himself and what he can do, but also can understand why others do what they do and so knowing, does not become baffled or dismayed by small defeats. To that degree, true greatness depends on total wisdom. They act as they do because they are what they are—trapped beings, crushed beneath an intolerable burden. And if they have gone mad for it and command the devastation of whole nations in errors of explanation, still one can understand why and can understand as well the extent of their madness. Why should one change and begin to hate just because others have lost themselves and their own destinies are too cruel for them to face.
@@ Line 41: / Line 39: @@
 It requires real strength to love Man. And to love him despite all invitations to do otherwise, all provocations and all reasons why one should not.
-Happiness and strength endure only in the absence of hate. To hate alone is the road to disaster. To love is the road to strength. To love in spite of all is the secret of greatness. And may very well be the greatest secret in this universe."<ref>[http://www.matrixfiles.com/Scientology%20Materials/LRH%20ARTICLE%20DIV/WHAT%20IS%20GREATNESS.doc What Is Greatness Doc]</ref>
