An idea from Ecclesiastes

Even the courtroom, the place meant to fix what’s wrong, turns out to have its own wrongdoing sitting in the judge’s seat. Zoom out far enough and a person and an animal end the same way: one breath, one body returning to dust, no advantage carried out the door.

From Ecclesiastes by Qoheleth
