It's refreshing to be reminded of the 'other reality', the 'real', 'historical' reality that was part of these men's lives, rather than merely that which was created later in the whole process of 'mystifying' them, in which we all take part to some degree...Though it doesn't detract from what they achieved, often by
accident...

Of these men of peace I will agree that John and Gandhi qualify for that
title. The others, I get the feeling, they were pawns or tools put in place for reasons that have nothing to do with peace.

I can't really say much here except
that you are right on most counts. Not to state that I agree with the context. Good points, though.

Re: mordent, this would seem to be quite the downer take on famous men!
Funny this doesn't get me down but it probably would for most. I hope you get your heart to heart with the man you wish.

This Christian believes there is far more to life than this temporal life, and am looking forward to eventually having a heart to heart conversation with the first man on your list!!
