How then can man distinguish man, what test can he use?
the test of wealth? that measure means poverty of mind;
of poverty? the pauper owns one thing,
the sickness of his condition, a compelling teacher of evil;
by nerve in war? yet who, where a spear is cast across his face,
will stand to witness his companion's courage?
We can only toss our judgement random on the wind.
— Electra, Euripides
