Life: How do you measure....anything?

I started working on a grant about a week ago, and keep adding to the writing every day. At the end of the day, I save whole folder for backup. Increase of the size in megabite is a measurable unit for the day of work. My work is measured in megabite.

Or is it?

The megabite thing is a joke, of course. But how do we really measure, anything? What is your "scale"?

Money? Affirmation? Power? Competence? Appearance? Kindness? Benevolence? Self-satisfaction? Your religion's rules? That verse you arbitrarily picked from scripture? What your mom used to say? Number of something? How much you complied to something? How well do you dance (haha)?

You have your value system you follow and measure anything, whether you openly disclose it or not. 

I have my value system, too. Thanks to my years, I have better grasp on my own value system than when I was younger. 


When I meet someone whose value system is blatantly different from mine, I don't mind keeping some distance and observe.

Once you figure out his/her value system, you know the core of his/her character, and why he/she is doing these things. 

That applies to yourself, too. It can be hard to admit your own value system to yourself, though.



Today is Valentine's day. How about, Love, then?

Seasons of Love (HD) from Rent

 This is one of the songs that give me smile. Enjoy.
