Measure of a Man






*  A man is not measured by:



How much good he did, nor how many he  helped.

Rather, he is measured by how much evil he prevented from happening.



*  A man is not measured by:

 

What worldly heights he scaled in achievements. Not by what great inventions he made, nor how many the universal truths he uncovered.

 

Rather, he is measured by how deeply immersed is he in the sufferings, sorrows and pain of his fellowmen;

And the extent he would go to sacrifice for those in misery.

 

A man is not measured by:

 

How great the earthly wealth, property, and possessions he gained…

 

But by the goodness he bequeathed when he lifted the faint-hearted to great heights, freed those bound to earthly woes, gave sight, purpose and direction to those blinded by earthly follies.

 

A man is not measured by:

 

How many knew him.

 

Rather by how numerous are those sent from the Prince of Darkness, he refused to know or to befriend.

 

A man is not measured by:

 

How much praise, honor and accolades the world sung to his glory and his achievements. Neither is a man measured by how much the world loved him.

 

 

Rather a man is measured by how much praise, honor and glory, by his life’s example, he brought to the name of his Maker.

 


Are you a man?
