Ted Williams- such an interesting man. He had so much, but his life was sad in ways. He saw himself as totally self-reliant- not needing others or anything, but only his brains and his skills and his intelligence. His great talents did serve him well, to the extent they could.

But did he understand that there are facets of our existence that aren't made complete by the accomplishments of our minds and bodies, however great? Even in the times of his great accomplishments, there was an underlying vulnerability- the same needs we all have to be accepted and respected.
