  12. how can one be measured a good person? Is it by the good one does or simply by the good one thinks they’re doing. And if its the latter, whats the difference?
    if there’s always good intentions behind one’s actions, who are you to decifer if that person should be measured up to actually possess goodness?
    On the same token, if one’s actions result in a negative effect, regardless of the simple intent, does that “good” action lose all meaning? leaving that person never able to measure up to said ”goodness”?

  18. to measure something. you measure things like body weight or the weight of food. when you measure something you do it to find out how much it weighs. You can also measure the length of something with a ruler, yardstick, or tape measure

  19. Everything I do, I have to weigh it up first. My whole life is carefully measured. Should I buy that apple? It’s on clearance, only 20p and looks nice and ripe. I like apples. I haven’t had apples in – but wait, I have fruit in the fruit bowl at home. I have bananas and oranges, I think. I don’t know. Why don’t I know? I should go back and check. But anyway, the apple. It’s red and green; that’s got to have some kind of Snow White imagery, death, poison, it’s a bad omen. And what about that whole saga about prepackaged food occasionally getting contaminated? Occasionally isn’t safe enough for me. Plus I bet they pump it full of chemicals. Chemicals that probably cause cancer or some other horrible disease.

    So I don’t buy the apple.

    I also never leave the house.

  24. Precisely taken. Every number amazingly important. Measured with much detail, as if the world’s fate was determined by it.

  25. She stared down at the number between her feet. Not good enough, she thought. Never good enough. Her life is not measured by the breaths she takes; rather, it’s measured by the number on the scale. It’s been that way for a year now, she’s been keeping count. 130 wasn’t good enough, neither was 120. When she got to 110, she thought maybe just 10 more pounds, and when she got to 100, it still didn’t satisfy her. What ever will?

  36. By the way I stand tall. By the way I smile. It’s by the way I move through my life and respond to those I encounter along the way. I am measured by my grace or lack of grace.

  37. I measured my body and sighed. They didn’t have a size big enough for me. It saddened me… to no end. It always does. I want to change but I don’t know how. And some part of me doesn’t want to. Some of me wants to love my body. But I just… don’t. I’m always being measured.
