I already knew this sentence, and it is very interesting. I thought of Schopenhauer, although it could also be Beethoven and others. In short, it can be any hero, genius or saint, who are the characters that mark Humanity with fire. Although by the way it can be any being that has also marked our own humanity, such as a father, a grandmother, a teacher and others...
Very interesting post by the way.

Ya conocía esta sentencia, y es muy interesante. Yo pensaba en Schopenhauer, aunque también podría ser Beethoven y demás. En definitiva puede ser cualquier héroe, genio o santo, que son los personajes que marcan con fuego a la Humanidad. Aunque por cierto puede ser cualquier ser que también haya marcado nuestra propia humanidad, como podría ser un padre, una abuela, un profesor y demás...
Muy interesante por cierto el post.
Abrazos,

Hi Juan Manuel, thanks for your comment and sharing my posts :)
Why would you say Beethoven or Schopenhauer? Both Brilliant men, but I'd like to know why exactly them.
For me it might be Ernest Shackleton (and his crew) because of the amazing way the Endurance Expedition survived the antarctic and made it home despite "technically failing". That story always gives me goosebumps :O And Leonardo DA Vinci because of his huge first for knowledge and creativity. :D
Hello David, I said Schopenhauer because he was the one who taught me in my adolescence, thanks to a book that I discovered in my library, to love truth and philosophy. He was my first teacher in what is now my job. And Beethoven because he was such a passionate, long-suffering and productive "monster" that he bequeathed us the greatest musical work in history (his ninth symphony).
They could also be Saint Francis of Assisi, who also in my adolescence taught me to be a saint. In general, those who move me are the heroes, the geniuses and the saints, who are, respectively, the three greatest representatives of the constitution of the human being, which is material, psychic and moral or spiritual. For them I give my life and they give it to me...
Regarding Ernest Schackleton, I don't know much about him, although you have no doubts, now I'm going to look for information about him. I know something about one of the first -or the first- expedition to Antarctica, but I don't know if it was his. I am Argentine, and part of it seems, or belongs to us, although I was just reading and it seems that many countries complain about them and that seems technically more complicated.
Regarding Da Vinci, without a doubt, he was a great genius, who, like Beethoven and Schopenhauer, suffered from mental disorders, and likewise many more: did you know that creative geniuses are 90% more likely to suffer from mental disorders? !? The relationship is almost proven; Undoubtedly Aristotle was right when he said: "All exceptional men are melancholy"...
