We
may be “kings” in this lifetime, living in palaces
of gold, but at the end we are always alone. We must
cross the threshold from this life to the next alone.
Therefore, it matters not what riches we acquire, what
status we hold. None of it can save us from the
hunter’s arrow. None of it can come to our rescue at
the time of death. All that matters is how we have
lived our lives, whom we have helped, whom we have
healed, to whom we have brought peace and comfort.
