Why Did Alexander Weep?

[pioneer]

Alexander was a great military commander, leading his troops into every encounter. A bit of an over-achiever, the historian Plutarch wrote that Alexander wept upon learning that the universe was infinite. When asked what was wrong, he replied: "There are so many worlds, and I have not yet conquered even one."

[slackware]

He is considered as one of the greatest conqueror ever lived but he died in just a single bite of mosquito.

[udtohan]

why he wept? wala lang..minghilak lang siya

That shows to tell you, no man either he be a peasant, a senator, councilman, a noble, a King, an Emperor or even a "God-King" can truly conquor and rule the world. All civilizations and empires rise and fall and no one can stay in power for ever.

Sands in time. That's what we are. Sands in time.

naconquered nila ang world...pero wala nila maconquered ilang kaugalingon which is the most difficult.
