...[ ]...2 things are true in this life. You were born NAKED. When you DIE, all the money, power & influence
won't mean crap. The wealthiest person in the world is EXACTLY the same status as the homeless
person who dies. YOU ARE BOTH DEAD!
And just because I want to cheer you up this fine Sunday, I'm bringing you this excerpt from, "Cymbeline"........
Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
Nor the furious winters rages;
Thou thy worldly task hast done,
Home art gone and ta'en thy wages;
Golden lads and girls all must,
As chimney-sweepers, come to dust.
Fear no more the frown o' the great,
Thou art past the tyrants stoke;
Care no more to clothe and eat;
To thee the reed is as the oak;
The sceptre, learning, physic, must
All follow this, and come to dust.
Fear no more the lightning-flash,
Nor the all-dreaded thunder-stone;
Fear not slander, censure rash;
Thou hast finish'd joy and moan;
All lovers young, all lovers must
Consign to thee, and come to dust.
No exorciser harm thee!
Nor no witchcraft charm thee!
Ghost unlaid forbear thee!
Nothing ill come near thee!
Quiet consummation have;
And renowned be thy grave.
William Shakespeare
