Since your question is "Who is the greatest person of all time?"
I find it difficult to answer.
I haven't known too many 'great persons' in my present life time.
I think from writings of a spiritual nature,
historical, scientific, artistic, there can be and are dozens ( thousands ?) of legitimate answers.
Jesus of Nazareth, Ramses II, Joan of Arc, Leonardo Da Vinci, Giacomo Puccini, Thomas Merton, Doctor Tom Dooley, Kateri Tekakwitha,
Imhotep, George Washington, Yul Brynner, Willie Mays, My mom and dad...my friend Gail Opacity...all great people, wonderful persons, in my estimation...and there are so many more.
It is difficult to put myself in the place of JUDGE. Who am I to make that statement? ..."and the greatest of these is"...???? beyond my knowing.
Love,
Lily
