One of the biggest self deceptions anyone could have is the thought that he or she is indispensable. Anyone is dispensable. Anybody can be ditched.
I talked with a stressed mother years ago and I understood why she had all these wrinkles and stressful look: she was all over the affairs of her children. As most parents are, she thought that their world would not spin without her.
One day, I asked her what she sees when she goes to the cemetery. She said, "Of course, tombs!" "Right," I said. "And most of those ‘great’ people thought the world would not turn around without them. But look at now, they're gone but the earth moves as if nothing happens..."
Steve Jobs, Berlusconi, Obama, our all powerful boss, the cranky helpdesk officers, me, you are dispensable. The world will not cease if any of us is gone… and neither will our world should cease to move when somebody is gone. Move on…
