Description
No-one is indispensible, my lord tharl; all men are mortal; and even those who rank themselves the most important must die and yield their post to another.
So many of you who are at the top of your career ladder are interchangeable nonentities.
Ah, you disagree? You are no nonentity? You are so important, are you?
Then where are the servants, once at your beck and call? Where are all your fawning minions, once so eager to serve you and satisfy your every slightest desire? Is there but one who will help you rise now from the floor?
For one so important, why so alone, so friendless now?
Yes, you know who you are, and where you are, and when you are - but did you ever know WHY you are? And for all your great words and gestures - just what have you done in this world that is worthy of being remembered? How many people will remember who YOU were when a hundred years have passed after your body has turned to dust?
What is one man among the thousands of millions now on this Earth? Even if he be the most high-ranking who has ever existed - he is but one man; he is nothing; he too will die.
One man, my lord tharl, is damn all.
And the Shades will claim him for their own ...
