For what if the world is wrong, and there is life after death? Then in men's, and women's opinion I have lived a simple life and thrown the greatest parts away. But then that is just an opinion, and our opinions are based upon what others tell us. It is their perspective of what they believe is good, fun, and a value packed life.
But one has but to go to a place or a tribe isolated from the world and ask them about life, and they will tell you something vastly different about life, value, and fun.
So do material things make a person to be someone of note, or of any value?
No, in fact if they horde them for themselves things to be used as a tool of power then they are of the lowest order of human being, and of scripture as well! In fact the most note worthy man to ever have lived, owned absolutely nothing, and was a vagabond with no education, and the occupation of a carpenter.
The real fact about wealth, power, and material possessions is this; they rule your life, and your life is consumed with gaining more, and more, and not helping those in real need. In fact the powerful have created systems where if they give to blind charities, then they get their money back from not paying taxes so they really do absolutely nothing, and lose nothing as well.
So I am interested in the last part of that meme; why have millions of dollars, in wealth and material things if when you die someone else gets it, and you essentially destroy their life as you did your own, and you get to live out your days as the Rich man did in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus.
Luke 16:19-26 There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: (20) And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, (21) And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. (22) And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; (23) And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (24) And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. (25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. (26) And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
So life is but a short, very short journey in this world, and if their is a world beyond this, for an eternity, how would you see this short life, verses an eternity? Hey, it is your choice; I have made mine! Just read the Meme.
