Comments on: Why do we so often reject the truth?

I have never heard this story until today. After reading the Wiki and this post, I find it so odd to know that someone who changed the world so much, died from possibly an asylum beating. He saved so many lives through his discovery, yet because he had an inability to communicate properly provide an attractive behavior, many rejected him. What lessons can we learn from someone like this who now has a House memorial and a Medical University named after him? He still died of a beating in a crazy house, committed by a "friend" who took his job after his death, and up to his death was considered an "adulturing, alcoholic." What will we do differently?
