John Lennon’s life was taken from him in the city of New York in front of his department with his wife by his side.

Lennon was only forty years old, and yet in those forty years of life he made amazing contributions to the human race. People today continue to talk about him and his deeds and will continue too talk for generations to come.

Many people may not agree with everything John Lennon said or even what he stood for, but there is no denying his impact and his genius. He changed things and is still doing so. Lennon saw things differently, he wasn’t always fond of rules or the status quo. I guess he was just crazy enough to think he could change the world. John Lennon’s legacy is a remainder that we all need to let that craziness of ours out.

If you think about it, most of the people that have changed the world were called crazy at one time. People like Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, Nelson Mandela, Galileo Galilei, and others. I’m positive that there’s a little bit of John Lennon in all of us.
