As far as adages go, one that has general traction is "it takes all kinds to make the world go round." I generally concur with this proposition, especially when I feel any ambivalence about said "kind" of person. Who am I to judge if I am unsure of the device by which to measure another's life?
However... and there is always a however...Socrates said it best when he declared that the unexamined life is not worth living. Humans have a unique place in the cosmos (as far as we know) to see their life as a journey, the trek made more interesting through our contemplation of the sights, sounds, smells, feelings, people, etc. we meet along the way. Contemplation of not only the trail right in front of us, but of the journey's most memorable moments and those moments that lie ahead makes those sensations all the more savory.
For my journey, this is what I believe. There will be times when I will make unwise decisions and may not use my knowledge and judgment in making a decision. Nevertheless, all of my moments will be a medium through which I see the world and my part in it. This is what I vow to profess to any who ask.
