Seminal Thinkers: Immortal Influence


The seminal thinkers throughout our history, have impacted their societies so strongly that their teachings are still practiced today. Although, these people only had one life to physically live, their teachings will be immortal. This is something that surpasses all wealth, and or material things, because there is no price that can be put on an everlasting influence. It is astounding to think that one individual can affect so many, despite that that certain individual has been dead for thousands of years.
These people were so groundbreaking, their followers did not need proof of documentation, in order for them to believe in their cause. In our contemporary time, people want data sheets, or scholarly documents for historical works, and only then will they truly believe something happened. Especially in our mass social media today, you may say you did something, but it doesn’t mean jack unless you posted it on your beloved Instagram or Facebook wall. The pen might be mightier than the sword, but these seminal thinkers didn’t need either of them.
