The Measure of a Human

The human brain weights three pounds. The human heart weighs eleven ounces. Human skin is seven hundredths of an inch thick. To know a humans mind and heart takes time. It takes time to parse out the subtleties of their soul, to know the content of their character. It takes an investment of intellect. Those who judge a person simply by the color of their skin exhibit no intellect, no intellect whatsoever.
