Marcus Aurelius was, of course, an incredible man. He endured more than most people. He had more power than most people—and wore it more lightly. He did more work on himself than most people, understood people, and himself, better than most people.
Was he perfect though? Of course not. No one is.
In Lonesome Dove, the Texas Ranger Captain Woodrow Call seems almost superhuman, especially to the young cowboy Newt. Newt worships the ground the man walks on, believing he isn't like the rest of them. And in a sense, he isn't. The Captain can ride further and faster, is more principled, less afraid, tougher than everyone on the Plains.
But as his friend and fellow Ranger August McRae knows, Call is not perfect. He's hiding a secret. He is Newt's father but he won't admit it. And worse, he won't admit that he should have admitted it earlier. "He had a chance to be once," McRae says of Call chance to do the right thing. "He turned his back on it, and now he ain't about to admit that he made the wrong choice. He'd as soon kill himself. He's got to keep trying to be the way he thinks he is, and he's got to make out that he was always that way—it's why he ain't owned up to being your pa."
In the end, it doesn't matter much. Only whether you can.
