A second type of personal failing is one that is unrelated to the achievement.
Modern politics is replete with examples: the marital indiscretions of the great leader
John F. Kennedy and the paranoia of the great statesman Richard Nixon, to name just
two. Were the personal failings of these two presidents less important than their
achievements? In the former example, probably so. in the latter example, probably not
since it resulted in the Watergate scandal―a watershed event in American politics. In
cases such as these, therefore, the societal impact of shortcoming and achievement must
be weighed on a case-by-case basis.
In sum, history informs us that personal failings are often part-and-parcel of great
achievements; even where they are not, personal shortcomings of great achievers often
make an important societal impact of their own.
