The Greatest Test …<br />

(12/12/20<strong>17</strong>)<br />

“The test will measure whether you are an in<strong>for</strong>med, engaged, and productive<br />

citizen of the world, and it will take place in schools and bars and hospitals and dorm<br />

rooms and in places of worship. You will be tested on first dates, in job interviews,<br />

while walking down the street, and while scrolling through your Twitter feed. The test<br />

will judge your ability to think about things other than celebrity marriages, whether<br />

you’ll be easily persuaded by empty political rhetoric or manipulative religious dogma,<br />

and whether you’ll be able to place your life and your community in a context broader<br />

than your mere self. The test will last your entire life, and it will be comprised of the<br />

millions of decisions that, when taken together, will make your life yours. And<br />

everything, will be on it – especially Love and Kindness.” ~ via John Green<br />
