A person seeks to quantify their existence. Do we measure a person's life by its longevity or by assessing the warmth of its blaze?

There's a patter in these Commandments of setting things apart so that their holiness will be perceived. Every day is holy, but the Sabbath is set apart so that the holiness of time can be experienced.
