Nice post. I wonder in your summary too often we equate superhuman with elation or approval for coworkers, media, the public and do not think of superhuman so much as the unsung work of being a great husband and father. I have done many challenging things and accomplished much but in time, all of that washes away except the contributions made at home.

Reading this I realized I had witnessed ‘superhuman-ness’ growing up through my grandfather. I feel I should share an emphasize that greatness does not require copious monetary resources, extensive connections, or fame. My grandfather was a blue-collar worker for the phone company who achieved much through his own modest means, and in almost ninety-one years of living had:
-Received the Legion of Merit while serving in WWII
-Built a camper and sailboat by hand, of which the boat is still used by my family
-Become an amateur calligrapher
-Set foot on five of the continents (all but Australia and Antarctica) in his travels
-Contributed thousands of dollars and hours to various charitable organizations (his favorite was Habitat for Humanity)
-Been a lifelong patron of the arts
-Logged tens-of-thousands of miles on his racing bicycle in long-distance rides, a hobby he didn’t start until retirement, and continued the rest of his life
-and much more I do not know about because he was quite humble and quiet about all of this.
Like I said, greatness like this does not require fame and fortune, nor are they products of its achievements. I shared all of this in the hopes that people may be inspired through realizing greatness comes from within and it is what we make ourselves to be, rather than what we start out as.

Timogen?! Maybe Thrasymachus as well? I think an important element missing on this subject is that mankind is supposed to conform to its purpose in life and in this world. Virtue is what makes human creatures bear the semblance of humanity. Timogen and men like him epitomize the “might-makes-right” philosophy which is not virtuous at all. In fact, the danger of constant introspective concentration is that we will be blind to the proper standard of “perfected” humanity, or for men, manliness. Only with our eyes on God, that is Jesus Christ, the perfect unblemished Lamb of God, can we have the appropriate standard and source of strength by which we do become “great men.”
