The last shall think they’re the First
And the first shall think they’re the Last
This is the nature of human vanity

You are not the First but the last,
many there are that came before you.
Life has an incredible age.

You are not the Last but the first,
many they are that will come after you.
Make way and leave the stage.

We are each just a part of the whole,
Space-wise, time-wise, content-wise;
Humility alone will perfect our human unity.
