This world is like a carousel that we as humans have our turn to ride and then disembark. We should enjoy our chance because when we depart we join all others who have gone before us since thousands of years ago and we are equal to them. This is the message of Omar Khayyam in Quatrain 121 of his Rubaiyat.

ای دوست بیا تا غم فردا نخوریم
وین یک دم عمر را غنیمت شمریم

فردا که از این دیر فنا در گذریم
با هفت هزار سالگان سر بسریم

Oh friend, let us not grieve for tomorrow's woes, And let us seize this fleeting moment's rose.
For when we pass from this mortal sphere, With seven thousand years, we'll be equal.
