The value of a person

[sobrique]

If one starts from the assumption that in life there are people who are scum, and there are people who are saints.

The question is though, how do you measure a person?

Is it by their children?
By their impact on others?
By their wisdom and insight?
By their adherance to a moral code?

And another question:
[Poll #299286]

By their impact on others. I don't mean that they should impress others, necessarily, just that they should not harm them and should be helpful and kind as the basis of their behaviour.

I couldn't vote in the poll. My OWN opinion is most important to me. I'd seek a the views of another on a subject that I knew less about than they did...or knew nothing about.
