fausts_dreamJoseph Conrad (1857-1924)- Sickly young man and poor student, eventually found his strength and his voice in the Merchant Marines. His influence on literature and the study of human darkness was profound and many later authors were influenced by his bringing of non European flavors into English Literature. Through a troubled life that included a suicide attempt he was able to grow our collective understanding of human nature before his death of a heart attack in 1924.
James Earl Carter (1924-2021)- Jimmy Carter returned from his Naval career to manage his father's peanut business, despite his families wealth, Jimmy inherited relatively little due to his fathers forgiveness of debt and division of his estate among his children. His rebuilding of the family empire was curtailed by involvement in the Civil Rights movement and entry into politics. He rose to the Georgia state House and then the office of Governor before winning the Presidency as a dark horse. As President, Carter assisted in the Camp David accords and SALT II.
His post Presidency career was more impressive earning a Nobel Peace Prize and he continued his work as a humanitarian right up until the end...Following his beloved wife Rosalynn by only 4 months.
"Bodhisattva, another lifetime. Your 11th. Surely you have earned your rest. The human race,as a whole, seems no closer to enlightenment". "Then we must redouble our efforts, Master."
Ayotunde Balewa- (2021) Born to a poor Nairobi family. Ayotunde breathed his first with a squall. An inauspicious beginning for the greatest surgeon and philanthropist of the 21st century....
