Good thought in that relativity is indeed a major factor, but so is an absolute measure, thus a better measure would/should combine factors of both not just one or the other.

A fine quote from a great man.

Success is measure by your kindness to all creatures. Without kindness and compassion towards all creatures there is no success in your life - just hope you have another go-round. Have a wonderful and kind new year, Robert

I communicated with a black man for 24 years but never met him. In 2008 I told him that I was giving him something that I would never give to a white man as I am. I wonder what he thought? I sent him a half-dollar silver coin with the likeness of Booker T. Washington. Very likely, most reading this never knew such coins existed, It was minted in 1946. There was another minted in 1953 with both Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver the scientist who found hundreds of uses for peanuts.
