“What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?”

We strive and yearn for money all day long--but for what purpose? To acquire the things we want in order to fulfill our needs and make us happy........... Will money, and wealth, and power really meet our needs though? Are we even aware of what our needs really are? And once we have money and wealth and even power—will it really do us any good?........... Perhaps the reason so many rich, powerful and famous people descend into drugs and alcoholism is that deep down inside they sense the things they have are really very empty and temporal—a vain chasing after the wind. They experience disappointment after having acquired these things and go into denial that they still are not fulfilled and at peace. So they must put up an act and pretend that having these things is some sort of an accomplishment and that it really means something. So the game goes on, the act perpetuates itself and the more money and fame they get, the emptier they feel. The more empty they feel, the more money and power they seek. It is a vicious circle that is destined for total collapse.......... And even if these things did mean something—they are only here in this life and will be left behind when we die. As the saying goes, “you can’t take it with you.”...........

"Naked we came from my mother's womb, and naked we will depart.”.......................... Consider your life compared to all of infinite eternity. What is the most a human lives? A hundred years? The average is much less. How much of your own life is already gone that you can never get back? We will all die one day. The death is the common destiny of all mankind-- rich or poor, old or young, famous or infamous, educated or uneducated, black or white, red or yellow, brown or pink, no matter whether you are a millionaire or struggle just to put food on the table, no matter what background, whether you have an easy life or a hard one, no matter what—WE ALL DIE. Nobody gets out of life alive--And no body escapes having to stand before God. This is all mankind’s destiny.

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
