Indeed. Well said.
I've been doing the equivalent of going through an old photo album and asking "who was that guy?" and then imagining what they must have been like when they were alive, what their hopes, dreams and aspirations may have been and noting that this particular photo album is so covered with dust that it is obvious that no one has looked at it in years. It was important at some point in time but now its a relic.
