It's All You

"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."
-Ernest Hemingway

I like this quote a lot because it not only says something profound, but also helps the reader undersand it in the next part. "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man," When people think of nobility, usually kings and queens come to mind; being of noble status. However, nobility can also mean 'fine personal qualities,' or 'high moral principles.' This quote could possibly be talking about this definition. If so, this quote is saying, "It doesn't matter if your morals are better than everyone else's. As long as you're improving, yourself you are a good person." I think this quote is referring to that. No one can judge you, you are your own person. There is no 'standard perfect person,' We are all human. Everyone makes mistakes. While some mistakes are bigger than others, everyone deserves a second chance. The important thing is to learn from them, and if you're doing that, it does not matter what other people think—and more importantly, what other people say.
