Death, the great leveler

Death is the great leveler. To be the richest man in the graveyard is as outstanding as a straw in a haystack or a strand in an Afro. A rich man rots no slower than a poor man. Maggots treat all men with equal respect and digest. Still, the rich leave behind an inheritance and the poor leave behind a debt. But, children born to wealth may end up squandering it all. While children born to poverty may end up overcoming it all. Wealth is not a constant. It is the character that is. Regardless of wealth, the man with character dies leaving an enduring legacy while the man without leaves behind a bleeding heresy. Therefore pursue character, covet after virtues, seek truths, be the lamp in the darkness, a city on the hill. These things are prized above all else and not even death can rob it from you!
