People Are Not Used To Greatness

People are not used to greatness.

They are unfamiliar with it.
They abhor it and they avoid it.
They like people the way they like their things; normalized, predictable.
Safe and stable, stale and stagnant.

Greatness is uncomfortable. It is an anomaly.
Society does not know how to accommodate it.
People do not know how to react to it.
Friends do not know how to embrace it.

People are not used to greatness.
