Of the best rulers, The people only know that they exist; the next best they love and praise the next they fear; and the next they revile.

According to Shiva, life is in the end about fixing holes. Shiva didn't speak in metaphors. fixing holes is precisely what he did. Still, it's an apt metaphor for our profession.

It is the task of a lifetime. We'll leave much unfinished for the next generation.
