You can always have more but you can’t have less

On the pitch is off the streets
This is about getting restless kids, or kids who might be in a bad situation, into sports.
The axe forgets but the tree remembers

The graveyard is full of irreplaceable people.
No one is really irreplaceable
To a business, to the government, but in a human context of genuine togetherness, plenty of people are irreplaceable.

Lol. You take it way to seriously. But for the discourse I will counter.
Ofc a parent or a child is irreplaceable for the family. A friend or a lived one, a pet is irreplaceable for those close to them.
And I interpret it that people over emphasise their own importance. No boss is irreplaceable, no CEO or politician is ultimately so important they can’t be replaced with new people. There will come new experts, there will be new leaders, new visionaries, new scientists. When the current ones grow old and inevitably follow the path we all must go.
