Do you think that great ideas or work are only appreciated after the person that came up with it is dead?

Question

Why or why not?

Can anyone provide some examples?

Answer 1

The Beatles, Albert Einstein, Socrates, Copernicus, Palo Picasso, Mozart, Led Zeppelin, Leonardo,  Beethoven, Nicola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Charles Dickens, Michaelangelo, etc.

If you're good, people are generally going to recognize that. Rarely do great minds not get recognized in their own time.

Answer 2

YES and NO

Jesus vs Bill Gates...

Sakyamuni Buddha....

Why? karma....

Blah, some people cannot be accepted because his personal image is too big, too bright. The light shines upon the needed, but not everyone can take the same amount, some cannot take at all. So, kill the nice poor fellow.

Answer 3

No,it is absolutely wrong because in case of BillGates his great ideas are appreciated when he is still alive......  

Answer 4
