Importance and Responsibility

Noel Coward via last.fm

We all like to have a certain sense of our own importance and usually have to develop a sense of responsibility at some period in our lives. At the same time there can be occasions when we can get somewhat overwhelmed by our responsibilities and what we feel we owe to others. These are the times when I remember a phrase which I understand was attributed to Noel Coward: 'Nobody, simply nobody is indispensable'. Sometimes this can be quite comforting.
