Agreed, that is why he hasn't been heard of. But that is inexcusable now. Why do kids hear about baseball players or fake movie heroes as their role model. Those aren't heroes! They never will be heroes or will be heroes in ways that have nothing to do with anything but their character and actions. And if the heroic character is to be taught, why hide our examples!? This man's life is a template. He's even canonized in the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church. Why not here!? Why isn't he in text books and have his own holiday. Hell, he could share billing with Oskar Schindler.
I'm talking about a big ****ing monument out front of every school and everyday a hired employee would go up to the admirers of the monument and smack them upside the head and point to the statue an shout: "How to be!"
