History - What a Wonderful World

 You can sort of say that these are two separate ideas.


First: What a Wonderful World  is the title of a song, made

popular by the literally and figuratively and pretty much

any way you want to put it Louis Armstrong.  Amazing 

musician and performer.  However, the world is wonderful

without the song, because it's the only one "we" got.  Therefore,

it's best for us all to think of it as wonderful.  You think?


But basically about history, you know, or we think we know,

Alexander is known in history as The Great,

was at the minimum quite an interesting character.  I think

he is well know for " conquering the world ", or at least what

he could find.  That seemed to have stalled out, and he had

to make a " swift " get-away back to Persia, which was safe

haven.  He died.  In history he is often derided because the

" empire ", he forged, fell apart quickly after his death.

However, at the least he founded the city of Alexandria

which housed the greatest collection of books in the world

for almost 700 years.  Also he was the "role model" for

another character, Julius Caesar, probably best know for

the Orange Julius, but designated to be a god, by the Roman

Senate, curiously enough.


The above is an example of a " buster-fili", if re-worked a bit.

But maybe, not!!!!


The point, if you want to call it that, is simply this:

What was going on from the point of Alexander?  He was

simply following his education and his dreams, what he had

of education and what he had of dreams.


I don't think that is "really" the point, however, the point might

simply be I am searching for the appropriate use of a semi-colon.
