Abstract
Everything can be measured today. Wise people say that power and wits both can be measured, but indirectly also – stupidity. It would be very nice if honesty could also be measured! But, let us leave jokes aside! We need various measures in our lives, because old surveyors did not say in vain: Measure – faith (my measure – my honesty). If we want to know how long, wide, high or deep something is, we measure it with – a meter.
Keywords
