If by "main measure" you mean what I consider to be the most important thing to me that would be to just live. To 'just be'. That is the real jewel of being in this universe. If life is a race, and this is a big IF, it is to merely saunter maybe 100 meters at any speed. It doesn't matter what finishing position you come in so long as you just get there at your own pace. Others are convinced the 100-meter finish line is not real and that it is a marathon. Eventually they may find there is no other finish line, all the while trying to convince you that there is one.
