The weight of gold, the value of glitter

It is posterity that is worth the trouble, the accumulated weight of all eyes, not just the ones that surround you now, ortear you down or misunderstand. It is the weight of time that is required to test your true worth and it is only the things that last that matter. This is why destructive superficialities must be forgone in order to bring to light the soul's most excellent strengths. And so its power can shape hearts for ages to come. This is not only despite but because of our daily insignificant weaknesses and embarrassments.
