How is a man measured? As I grow older I wonder that more and more. Is it how smart he is, how strong, how successful, how loved? Is it a combination of all these things? I know men who are rich and successful, but have no one to love them. On the other extreme I know men who are loved by many but have nothing of superficial value. The superficial things help rank us amongst our friends. Is that right? How should we rank against our peers?
Soon I will embark upon my journey towards the rest of my life. The things I do now will shape who I am. How will I measure up when I am older. Sure, I may be rich and successful. Will I be the richest? The most successful? Maybe out of my niche of friends, but not totally. I pursing the American dream I will have to spend less time on myself and from my family. Those things seem to count more than anything.
I don't think I can offer any more insight than mere questions.
