we lost one of the greats, even if he did decide to go elsewhere. he will be remembered for his contribution. for his sense of definite purpose, uncompromisingly so. his steadfast philosophy, which gathered years of followers together. yes, today is a sad day for remembering such a man whose work reflected a huge chunk of mankind and world history. a man whose 'decisive moment' took the chaos of life and made it all so clear.
