Is it education, fortune, social rank, good manners, kindness or goodness of heart the quality that distinguishes individuals from one another?

It is quite difficult for anyone to be like the one, but
I would say the proof of a worthy man lies in his or her devotion and preparedness for the prosperity of human beings in this world.

Goodness of heart. Education, fortune, social rank, good manners and kindness are all dependent on luck (i.e., was he born into a rich family and awarded the opportunity to go to school?). But a person has to choose to be decent and good.

Integrity!
-------------


Doing the right thing, simply because it is the right thing to do, being always honest and never telling a lie (believe it or not, no matter what your situation, telling the truth is your best defense in an adversarial situation. If you tell a lie to try to protect yourself, they immediately go to work setting up a trap), always keeping your word, and always being punctual (a person who is "fashionably late" or keeps people waiting is one who deems his time as more important than other's, hence deems himself as a more important person than others)|

Being kind to the weak, firm with the erring, not afraid to cut off a rotten member of the group, never taking advantage of a person when you have the power to do so, and always coming to the defense of those who cannot defend themselves|


Now about education, it is possible to educate oneself into *imbecility|*

Some of the dumbest people I know are those with multiple letters after their name|


And about social rank, those who have the swanky clothes and jewels are often Hitlers incarnate, and if they are young people of "standing" so often, they are completely full of themselves and conceited.

It is often the *in groups* of many high schools that are populated with all the a** h****.


So a man or woman's value is to be gauged by his or her *goodness,* not his money, his putative reputation, or his social standing|

That is a provocative question. Worthy of what and for what? Any human being IS worthy from the birth moment! That is very dangerous and wrong path of trying to divide people on worthy and not worthy. We are all both I think. Today we are worthy, tomorrow - not. Each one of us has the good and evil inside. So which part of me is worthy? - that's the question we should ask ourselves, I think.

Integrity
Honor
Strength of conviction
Passion
Ability to adapt
Intelligence
Common sense

There are more I'd add, but...worthy of what/whom? One should feel worthy, the point of view from everyone else is subjective. Can you be proud of yourself by the things that you do and say? Can you look in the mirror and know that you are YOU and not pretending to be someone you are not? Can you speak your mind to others without being afraid of their reaction?

None of the above.

Honor is what distinguishes individuals from each other. Honor is something that EVERYONE can have, regardless of education, money, or social rank.

I think to be kind is very important.

Education, fortune, social rank - totally unimportant.

Important - respect, kindness, and yes - good heartedness. Oh yes - and good sense!

Being an aspect of the first cause makes one worthy. No more is necessary.

Goodness of heart.
Any man can earn money, say please and thank-you or perform random acts of kindness but true goodness cannot be faked or mistaken. It's The very essence of someone and a veritable indication of their worthiness.

A man has to call you his 'love', be kind, HONEST, faithful(which happens very rarely!), education is also quite important and he has to be a good person from inside, appearance shouldn't mean a lot...
