How to Measure a Life

How do we measure a man's life? Do we measure it in years or in moments? Is a man's worth told by his bank account and property or by the number of lives he's touched? Is his success determined by the car he drives and the clothes he wears or by the amount of people who consider him a friend? 

How do we measure a man's life? Is he to decide if he's achieved all he can or is it society's job to tell him so? To tell him he can do better, to tell him to go on; go on even though he's happiest here.
How do you know when you've reached your goal? Do you ask the people around you? Then why do you tell me what I want? Why do you tell me I can't be happy, can't be myself? Did I ask you to measure my worth?

How do we measure a man's life? We don't.
