About This Quote

When you are measuring life, you are not living it. "Measure for Measure", William Shakespeare's last play, is about a man who has been unjustly punished for his supposed crimes. The story starts with Shakespeare showing the audience how unjust our legal system can be. He explains that, even though he is being punished for his crimes, he still deserves to be punished because he has the right to defend himself.

He knows that the punishment is unjust because he knows that he did not do anything wrong. When you are measuring life, you are not living it. It is dangerous to measure your life by what you have done or who you are instead of what kind of person you want to be.
