the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. these persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. beautiful people do not just happen.

samuel adams was often called the firebrand of the american revolution." a few months after the boston massacre, adams called for "committees of correspondence" in every colony. by 1774, these committees were exchanging news and ideas, which helped build a sense of national unity.

when the new congress met in 1789, james madison proposed several amendments to the constitution. as well as being inspired by the virginia declaration of rights created by anti-federalist george mason, the amendments included proposals from state representatives. congress approved the ten amendments to the constitution, which were named the bill of rights.

the first four amendments listed the individual rights of americans, such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion the next four were protections of people who were arrested. the ninth amendment stated that other rights of the people were also protected even though they weren't listed, and the tenth said that powers not given to the government belonged to the states or to the people.

known for their service on the western frontier, buffalo soldiers were segregated regiments of african american soldiers in the u.s. army. historians disagree on the origin of their nickname, with some suggesting it was given by native americans who compared their hair to that of buffaloes, while others suggest it reflected their fierce fighting skills. several generations of buffalo soldiers fought bravely for the united states across nearly 200 engagements from 1866 to 1951. they were the only african american soldiers to fight in cuba during the spanish american war, earning five medals of honor among them. image

a dystopic novel was written by george orwell. it is not that hard to make connections between today and the time when the book was written. even though the name of it is 1984, the book was first published in 1949. that is a great indication of the foresight of the author, that is to say he could predict the future from that time. after reading it, you will see what would happen if dictatorial regimes reinforce their power by using technology.

alcetas was a prominent macedonian warlord who was mentioned among alexander the great's influential generals. after alexander's death, alcetas was challenged by antigonus, one of alexander's commanders. the war between the two warlords took place in the region of psidia and resulted in alcetas' resounding defeat. alcetas sought refuge in termessos, and the residents of the city provided protection to him. in subsequent months, in order to protect the city from danger, the elders of termessos wanted to hand alcetas over to antigonus, who had set his military camp at the foot of the mountain. alcetas did not want to face a gruesome death, so he took his own life. to this day, his grave lies on a rock wall in the highlands of termessos.

the grave is a 15-minute trek from the colonnaded street of termessos. it is a pleasant hike, not a cumbersome one. the first thing i noticed upon reaching the site was the large rock carving of alcetas on a horse on the wall above the grave. it surprised me greatly to see that this rock carving survived despite harsh natural elements, such as the scorching heat and interminable humidity. image
