Legacy

Legacy

is a powerful concept.
Ideally must be
simple,
condensed,
to the point,
and yet
it takes a
Lifetime
to
create.

Judging by the
bad boys in the news
(you know who-why waste ink on their
creepy name/image),
a
Legacy
can be ruined
by
one or more bad acts,
or deeds and or
a scandal,
that becomes public.
(ethics ? does that mean if no one knows, legacy unscathed?)

Also certain,
If one at first hears
Scandal
and it is later
retracted...
The impact of the Scandal
sears a pathway in the observer's head,
never to be undone by
retraction....

Is that powerful?
