Steve Jobs was a great man, she wrote, thus fulfilling her civic duty.
Steve died on October 5, 2011. Other men also died on October 5, 2011.
Each was just a man. Just a mechanic, a teacher, a doctor. Just a dad, a husband, a friend. Each death didn’t generate worldwide buzz. Just a small circle of family and friends sharing memories outside a funeral home.
She didn’t write about them. She wrote about the great man.
And to be sure, he was great. An innovative genius with immeasurable impact.
And to be sure, he a man. Finite. And now face to face with eternity.
You're right--he's now facing eternity. What an influence he had--and now what? That is sad to think, not only about Steve Jobs, but the many others who died that day and die everyday.
ReplyDeleteThat's bullcrap...Steve Jobs is immortal.
