In the end, it seems, the lasting measure of a man is not what society thinks of him but what his actions teach him that he is. We forge our own destinies, take our own measures, and cannot face hardships or seek the meaning of life without by degrees becoming whatever we expect to find.

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. by Samuel Johnson.

The old man died, and the scribes who record
the lives of men in the Book of Ages
came to measure his life, and to set it down.

“How shall we measure the life of a man?”
the youngest of them inquired.
“By the passage of his days,”
the first one said, as he made his entry.
“By his deeds, great and small,” another replied.
“By the wealth that he amassed,” said yet another,
“Or by the power that he held,” the fourth one suggested.

“But which way is best?” the youngest one wondered.
“There are many good ways and true,”
the wisest one answered,
“And each scribe is free to choose,”
“But the most telling,” he noted, as he took out his pen,
“Is by the love in the hearts of those who knew him…”
