5/5/10 Everyone wants to be famous, deep down inside.  Sometimes its so deep inside someone, usually someone who’s normal or selfishly meek (because they think they will inherit the earth), that they don’t know it’s there inside them, but everyone falls asleep dreaming about how they will change the course of human history and be talked about for generations to come.  They will be featured in history books and have statues and monuments erected to commemorate their contributions that shaped humanity. Everyone dreams of being a pioneer, but no one actually wants to do anything for the first time.  Most normal people generally require a set of instructions, so few do anything significant or outstanding about their repressed desires and, only on the rare occasion, when the need outweighs the fear.
