I will leave this Earth with
the same things I came into it.

Nothing.

The life I live is a Gift
I do not own it
I have a better thing

Stewardship.

Any Gift that is given can
Just as easily be removed
It was never “mine”
nor can I destroy it honorably

Gratitude is not only the greatest of all Virtues,
It is the Parent of all the rest
Pro Plancio 82
Cicero circa 58 BC

It is the height of ingratitude
To dishonor the Giver of all Gifts
By throwing away the gift of our existence
Just because it is no longer convenient,
a pleasure to serve within,
Or - shutter - by the action of the burdened "Loved Ones"
