ISSUE 11 personal faults of great achievers
The proponents of this view may argue that people should not neglect one’s achievement only because of their tiny faults. To some extent, I agree with the speaker’s general assertion that compared with the huge achievements, those great people’s faults appear so unimportant as to be forget. While this statement is practicable for most great people it is unilateral that it fails to consider the faults sometime could be serious.
Admittedly, comparing with the enormous achievements, personal faults appear to be a drop in the ocean. Just take a look at the great artist who are often notorious for their poor financial and business judgment. Yet in our hearts and minds this sort of failing only elevates them in greatness. Further more such faults to some extent facilitate the production of great achievements. If Van Gogh is not sensitive and crazy , he would not paint such glorious paintings which is a huge loss of human art field.
However the view above doesn’t mean that we should turn a blind eye to the significant mistake just because the great achievement. Recently I read a news that a teenager at 17 killed a woman after he hit her just for avoiding take responsibility. Then his teacher and classmates plead for him argue that he has won 13 NATIONAL AWARDS about art so that we should give him a chance to star all over. Let put aside the Legal aspects of this case. should we forgive such brutal and inhuman crime for his achievement? This tragedy best proved that we should be impartial when evaluating a person. It is unfair to take it for granted that any achievement in any field is more important than life.
In most case the importance of achievement and faults change according to the situation. Sometime a great achievement that one gains in certain field is more notable than the faults he has ever made. And sometime the faults would be too serious to neglect. There are no perpetual right standard to measure which , achievements or faults ,are more important when evaluate a person. All we can do is put this issue into a dialecticalperspective and consider both the faults and the achievements rather than by claiming one of the two is more important than the other.
