The Legend’s Journey: From Hero to Monster

A man who becomes a legend might appear like a hero from one angle and a monster from another to the people who know him only from the outside. No view of him is incredible. The legend that I have in my mind is Bill Gates. Whether you see Gates as a hero or a monster will depend on your angle. Till about two decades ago, he was seen as a hero because of his contributions in popularizing digital technologies, but ever since he became a full-time philanthropist and healthcare activist, his reputation has taken a beating. His Twitter and Instagram accounts are full of hateful comments from people who are suspicious of his political and social agenda. Most people see him as a monster. But I think Gates, like all legends, is hardly bothered about other peoples opinions. He is obsessed with his own agenda.
