If you study history you see just how fleeting the reign of the rich and powerful really is. Our story is littered with forgotten bones of people who once commanded armies or held vast swaths of dirt they claimed to "own."

Everything changes, the world turns over, everything is recycled. Including those who think themselves great or mighty or worth listening to. The world changes, climates change, species change, life goes on.

At least until the carbon cycle expires, but that's a long way off.
