Your heroes?

[Heith]

I am going to make a little wall with framed portraits of the individuals in different parts of history whom I appreciate. I playfully call this my "hero wall" and it's been quite fun thinking who should be on that wall. The idea originally came to me from the film Only Lovers Left Alive by J. Jarmusch. As today is the first day that I've framed a hero as I got the appropriate image, and it's been a lot of fun thinking who should be on the wall, not to mention finding the images, I thought to ask, who would you put on your wall of heroes and why? If you like, post also a image of them.

This exercise has been useful to me, as I so easily despair over the direction the world is going to. So it helps to think that there's been so many fantastic individuals who've done something profound, and then I remember that people are worth loving; at some point, someone will be great again.

My first hero?



Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn!

Vincent van Gogh (who will also be on my wall) wrote, "Rembrandt goes so deep into the mysterious that he says things for which there are no words in any language. It is with justice that they call Rembrandt—magician—that's no easy occupation."

"We should prostrate ourselves before Rembrandt and never compare anyone with him!" -Rodin, after being compared to Rembrandt.

This idea have being on and off in my mind since (about) 2008. Never actually executed this, except at the level of thoughts.

My greatest heros must be the mahasiddhas in general.

“One can show one's contempt for the cruelty and stupidity of the world by making of one's life a poem of incoherence and absurdity.”
