I've never heard of Robert Goddard before—thank you for sharing his story and your insights.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;2.  I wonder if some revolutionaries are fueled by the frustration that they feel from their peers/ society.  What role do you see rejection played in Mr. Goddard's work?  Was it all negative? (In asking, I'm not attempting to deny the gravity of what he felt or what you expressed—I agree with what you had to share.)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;3.  I haven't changed the world any, but some of best products of my life (mainly who I've become) are the result of the times when I haven't felt my best.  So the good and bad of my life both have value.  I tend to not like the bad as much though.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;4.  I hear the word "revolutionary" a lot nowadays, but I don't know what it means.  Could you help me better understand what "revolutionary" means?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;5.  Do you think that there are any revolutionary characters in history that felt affirmed, positive, joyous, or rewarded in the process?  What made their experience different from Mr. Goddard's experience?&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Those are just some thoughts that ran through my mind as I read.  You obviously don't have to address them all, but I'd appreciate any insights you can give.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/424612964741875083/7290349401321829731/comments/default/5325289512125154314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/424612964741875083/7290349401321829731/comments/default/5325289512125154314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.mormonanomaly.com/2008/09/goddards-battle-with-convention.html?showComment=1225815600000#c5325289512125154314' title=''/><author><name>micah e.</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02371432979946245440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.mormonanomaly.com/2008/09/goddards-battle-with-convention.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-424612964741875083.post-7290349401321829731' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/424612964741875083/posts/default/7290349401321829731' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
