the worth of a man...

How do you measure the worth of a man? There are only two ways i know of. The idealistic, eccocentric way. And the realistic, real world way. The idealistic way harkens back to the old saying, "You can tell the measure of a man by the company he keeps". If that were true, i would be the greatest man alive today.

thank you.. i needed to write about something a little different.. i have been so hung up on emotional peices lately, i thought that maybe something a bit more objective would help me organize my thoughts.. and it has to a respect.

you cant really measure the worth of a person because no one is really any more or less valueable then anyone else we are all just people you know?

but that is just it.. why cant you? we are all just people yes.. but some people can work their asses off their whole lives for nothing, and other just do nothing and have everything.. are they the same on the inside? maybe, but that doesnt mean they are "worth" the same to the people around them.

when i measure ur worth, my dear doug, i get all pissed off, cuz the longest measuring device i have is a magnetic measuring tape that sits on my filing cabinet, and measuring tapes are so hard to keep straight when theyre pulled out as far as it can go. then i start swearing and stuff and i throw it and it breaks my moms expensive vase. then i gotta buy her a new one and pretend it never happened, and i realize i have no money. so i stand on the corner for awhile and this really nasty burly fat man with donut crumbs on his mustache comes up and says hey baby- how much, and he farts. and i am so disgusted i kick his face in and steal his wallet. then i go to buy the vase and they are all out, and the guy tells me i have to order it from china. well shit my mom will be home in like 4 hours so i decide just to off myself by drinking a bottle of everclear and lighting my head on fire.
so yeah, the moral of the story- um. ur worth is enough for me to off myself for you. love you babe.

its a persons personal idea of how to measure worth in another person not but the standards of society. in the end you'll always be worthless we all will because our idea of what worth is suits us and that is what we become but another persons idea is completely different that we will never amount to anything.

the 3 things I feel are worth are not money, power, nor respect.
