Life Happiness Index: 30 Factors That Determine Wanting to Exist

//To understand poetry, one must first be fluent with its technical aspects. To fully grasp poetry, you must first understand its meter, rhyme, and figures of speech. After mastering the technical side, you should ask two questions: First, how artfully has the objective of the poem been rendered? This rates the poem's perfection. Second, how important is that objective? This rates the objective's importance. I propose a formula to rate a poem's greatness by plotting its perfection on a horizontal axis and its importance on a vertical axis, with the resulting area indicating its greatness. --Dr. J.
