Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.Depending on how you want to look at it, either no one is special or everything is. The natural processes of life (and death) don't afford special dispensations to this or that group, this or that person.
~ King James version ~
Heaven and Earth are impartial;
They see the ten thousand things as straw dogs.
~ from Verse 5 of the Tao Te Ching ~
It doesn't matter how pious or sacrilegious you are. It doesn't matter how wealthy or impoverished you are. It doesn't matter if you are just and kind or uncivil and hateful. At some point, the body dies. It's that way for each of us.
