Dear Perceptive Reader,
When it comes to reading about history, IMHO it’s best to start the book with an open or objective mindset. Sure, the emotions will creep up on you at times; and this is all well and good; I say. Yet; the reason you start the reading or listening to an autobiography history on a public figure is to allow your mind to be susceptible to all possibilities.
The public persona of a person still does not always give a listening ear to whom a person is or wants to be. For example; there have been famous personalities who specialized in mundane and quiet life activities they enjoyed at one time; but it did not place food on the table. At least not in the amount they needed for themselves.
A Bit of History in reading and research provides the noble motives along with the reasons of adjustments in some of these figures lives. You may actually come to love them by the time you get through the book.

There is so much to learn in the world. Some years ago, a man recited a poem built on the proclamation of dignity. Many have found out how life is worth living because of us being made in the Grand Creator’s image.
