I'd like to share a poem

I think this is one of the most creative things I've ever read:

There Is No Indispensable Man
by Saxon N. White Kessinger, 1959

Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego's in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room,

Sometime when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul;

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
Is a measure of how you will be missed.

You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop and you'll find that in no time
It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man. ​

 

That is very good, Pax. Very interesting..

 

Very true...

 

...Maybe so, but if the hand didn't stir the water occasionally, it would soon stagnate.

 

Good one Pax, and ever so true!

 

Very true

 

nice Pax. It really is truth.
Thank You for that.

 

Makes ya feel a little insignifigant!

 

Wish I'd written that. That's the whole truth in a few lines. Right there is genius.
