Circle of Life

In life, we don't own anything.

You were born through others

You got your name from others

You are taught by others

Whatever you have, you acquired or got help from others

The respect you have comes from others

Others gave you the first bath

Others will provide the last shower

Others will attend the final ceremony you will have

Others will bury you

Whatever you leave behind, will be portioned among others

Why then, among us, do some people feel like they are above others?

Why do we shame others for their mistakes and imperfections?

Why do some of us feel superior to others?

For the material things we have?

Why, yet others make us?

Always remember that you came into the world with nothing

You found everything on this earth and so you shall leave it here

For others to enjoy
