He celebrates not those who acquire ever more comforts but those who persist through discomfort with quiet dignity. In an age that extols self-love and self-aggrandizement, he champions self-sacrifice and what he calls “our stubborn little common human greatness.”
There was nothing common about his greatness. Paralyzed from a diving accident in his freshman year of medical school, he proceeded to continue his studies from his hospital bed and graduate with his class. Moving to Washington to work in politics after several years practicing psychiatry, he then became the most influential conservative writer of his time. And now, having moved from this life to whatever comes next (true to his humility, he didn’t presume to know), Krauthammer through his words continues to nudge the world in a better direction.
