"I lived, and I died as, no doubt, you too from the future who might see my portrait will I loved and I enjoyed my life and I had my pleasures and my joys and travails and pain and suffering too; there was the identity I had and I was my home, my property and jewelry and I was my group and my family and my kind… for all that, I lived as many others as any human - happy, fulfilled through inconveniences, awkwardness and comforts and possessions and then I died and you in the future, who might look at my portrait - to you I wish long life, happiness, and bliss all through the days that may be yours on this our earth where I too lived "
