9. Greatness And Goodness

GOODNESS, simplicity, greatness — these three are one, and this trinity of perfection cannot be separated. All greatness springs from goodness, and all goodness is profoundly simple, Without goodness there is no greatness. Some men pass through the world as destructive forces, like the tornado or the avalanche, but they are not great; they are to greatness as the avalanche is to the mountain. The work of greatness is enduring and preservative, and not violent and destructive. The greatest souls are the most gentle.

Greatness is never obtrusive. It works in silence, seeking no recognition. This is why it is not easily perceived and recognized. Like the mountain, it towers up in its vastness, so that those in its immediate vicinity, who receive its shelter and shade, do not see it. Its sublime grandeur is only beheld as they recede from it. The great man is not seen by his contemporaries; the

I was an original compiler of this, though track listing changed.
https://web.archive.org/web/20100914172131/https://www.last.fm/user/balupton links a 2017 journal entry where I shared my track listing (the actual entry was not archived, my llast.fm account was deleted when last.fm was acquired by CBS, and the computer with the full track listing crashed) 

From fragments of various backups, I compiled two albums

Exit Status and Bash

I'm @balupton, author of dorothy which is the largest public bash codebase that I am aware of.

Dorothy is coded using set -e (errexit) to avoid || return $? statements on every single one of its thousands of lines of code, for the most part this has worked well, however I was suprised when the down command would report a failure via:

• https://github.com/bevry/dorothy/blob/107a34dd01f73b8fc53aee032d7dffe5e7aee5b5/commands/down#L293-L307

However it would also report a success within the called function:
