Who Would Get Your Vote As The "Greatest Person To Ever Walk the Planet"?

[Mr. Ected]

Granted, we all define greatness in different ways. Some of us will think of our parents, or a teacher, or a leader in the community. Others will think of sports figures, inventors, writers, or religious icons, or someone separated so far from us in time that we only base our judgments on historical writings.

This should be interesting....

3. A toss-up between Gandhi and Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha).

Followed by Emperor Constantine, Augustus Caesar, and Jesus Christ. In that order.

4. Me!

Reality started the day I was born and will end the day I die (at least from my perspective) so I feel pretty damn awesome in that sense.

However, my honest choice would probably be the Buddha.

6. I don't think there is any single person, living or historical.

who fits this bill. There are too many people who have been huge in one field or another to name one who is the greatest of all people.

Christians, of course, will name Jesus. I can't name anyone.

[Bertha Venation]

7. Mohandas K. Gandhi

But I only know recent history. I've never read world history, ancient history, the Classics, etc.

Or maybe just floatie shoes.
