Caulfield: You can be born great, achieve greatness, or have it thrust upon you. The middle one sounds like a lot of work. But I like the idea of being in control. I guess there's always achieving it by waiting for it.
Frazz: Great.
Interesting. Caulfield takes the " all good things come to he who waits" approach. I guess he’ll achieve something. Nothing is something isn’t it?(Am I visible here?,just checking)
It isn’t “just” pray for it. It’s “pray without ceasing” - anyone who thinks about something constantly is bound to see something useful. - consider the people who are aching for an opportunity to say something nasty about X: you can’t say “anything” without giving them an opening.

Or you can overeat a lot. The German word for “great” is “gross”.

It would be interesting to see Caulfield in yellow tights with green cross garters!

You don’t want to be “great”, Caufield; that would contribute to inequality!

If you are born great isn’t that sort of having it thrust upon you?

Waiting can work. In 10-15 years one of my grandchildren should be having children.
