Lincoln's Thinkin's
Lincoln defected from the normal and natural pattern of thinking and work.
He was not happy with taking the easiest possible route to get to his ends.
No Lincoln purposely tested and burned into his mind, the most difficult
path to reach his ends. This way he could achieve his greatness to which
he aspired. He was overlooked many times and his dream of leaving a
lasting monument were dashed many times, but his lofty goal was
attainable if only he were to be given the chance. Like a scultptor
sees the object in the granite, Lincoln, or more importantly Lincoln's
mind was being refined day by day, just as gold is purified in the fire.
He did eventually leave a "lasting monument" but not
before suffering terribly!! The latter four years of his life tested him in a terrifically difficult way.
His dream was attained though!! And posterity would always remember him, mostly good.
