Nimoy will live long and prosper in our hearts

Leonard Nimoy passed away last week. 

People of a certain generation remember him playing the role of Doctor Spock in the 1960’s TV sci-fi series Star Trek. We often identify with characters in films because we see parts of ourselves in a particular role.

In Spock’s case people identified with his half Vulcan, half human role in which there often seemed to be a conflict between his human side which would have given his emotions free reign and his Vulcan logical side.
