Man is
mortal indeed! In the eternal onward march of life kings, emperors, despots,
generals, etc. do not matter at all! Life is immortal. He doesn’t know what its
design is! When in the long past, Ozymandias was such a mighty king in Egypt,
he was so high-handed and arrogant of his power, wealth, and valour. He thought
nobody could defeat him. He won many wars against his adversaries also. He got
his statues built throughout his kingdom so that people would look at his works
and shudder. However, his glory lasted only a few years. He became old, weak,
and finally died. He was so sad at the approaching death. All his wealth,
victories, and pride could not save him from the claws of death!
After a few centuries not even a trace of his
kingdom was left! His palace, his wealth, the statues and buildings he had got
built, all decayed into ruins. His statues lie broken, surrounded by sandy
deserts on all sides. Not a single statue is intact! All broken! All men are
equal. It does not matter whether you are a common man or an emperor! All die
at the end. All power belongs to time, life, and God, who created the both.
Only art and creativity survive. For example, the sculptor who sculpted his
statue, he has survived till now in his art. Life is so complex and powerful.
The best a man a can do is do good deeds and be humble. So man must not allow any arrogance to cloud his understanding regarding his mortality. Only humble deeds are remembered!
