Abraham Lincoln - Towering Genius 5

During the Civil War Lincoln suffered great mental torment. I can imagine that each second his mind was in massive pain. I think he probably was having a "floating sensation" and that he felt like he could lose control of his mind at times.

But he did not. He kept control by faith in God, and being able to go to the theater, and sometimes listening to music he loved. And he knew he could not lose himself in his utter misery, as the country needed him. He knew as much when he looked upon himself as a humble servant of the Almighty.

Lincoln was an extraordinary figure and probably the greatest man to walk this earth.
