Humans As A Measure Of Everything Poem by Sari Mavi

Humans As A Measure Of Everything

Rating: 5.0


Protagoras once said:
"Man is the measure of all things"

When we measure, whether the water is hot or cold,
Its size is on us, then Protagoras's words have a point

When everyone says, "an X is good, X is good"
When people say "X is bad, X is bad"

Then the words become true, of course,
It does not depend on just good or bad

This is if you say human is the size of everything
There will be an adverse effect in it

Often we say something as something, because something is accepted
by the general public, we just follow it

People should behave this way or that way,
and only the general public determines it

Suppose all people say that - that's the way it is

Humans as a measure of everything can cause us see
Morals so relative

Moral is considered the same as the size of humans themselves
Good or bad depends on the person

: If everyone says that it's good, it's good; if it's bad, it's bad

Humans can not be the size of everything absolutely,
Because humans have conscience that says:

Something is wrong or right,
It does not depend on the number of votes
