The Power of One Life: Preacher, Teacher, Rebel, Sage

x Once, one Incisive Life went forth in steadfast quest to challenge both prevailing laws and social norms that required all strictly conform. Corrupt religious sophistry and callous Rome's supremacy combined to weave the tapestries of unrelenting tyranny. Defeating both should therefore deed to Mankind this uplifting creed: exalt freedom and righteousness - exclude all venal worldliness. Such quest by faith devotedly extolled in ancient prophecy. The path chosen though proved to be a martyr's tread implicitly. While we revere such sacrifice, that principles define one's life, this story seeds a fertile ground where fact and fiction both are found. Though, change whereby might surely be contained within this verity: his gifts of heartfelt empathy, and also gracious charity, as well as moral decency; Compas- sion for our frailties. Yet, praising too the Golden Rule, its promise ever worth renewal.
