Abraham Lincoln created a legend through his struggles to overcome his humble beginnings and achieving a revered name in history. Raised to "farm work‚" Lincoln still somehow built his image up‚ and became President of the United States. He exemplified the American idea of self-made man.

Especially since there are so many different definitions and understanding of things‚ The same way Socrates said that even if something is being done by everyone‚ doesn’t make it alright to do it. There are still rules to
