And then, cowering in their luxury bunkers in Germany, what good will all that money do the morbidly wealthy? Money itself becomes meaningless at the end of the Earth’s ability to sustain us. Talk about killing the goose that lays golden eggs.
Excessive wealth seems to cause stupidity in most people. We need to save us from our own damn idiocy. Regulations are the best place to start.
Thanks for this Thom (and for that Link the other day about the luxury bunkers for doomsday billionaires.)
Such a great truth. Unfortunately, many have lost, or are in the process of losing their soul. If they would do the reverse of this proverb you've given, we wouldn't be in such a predicament.
It doesn't make any sense that finite beings squander precious moments of life by accumulating material things beyond what their basic needs require just to lose it all upon death. Think of what a wonderful world this could be if Homo sapiens would only realize that hard truth at the age of reasoning rather that at the moment of death. We can learn the wisdom of the proper balance from nature and the purity of creation.

Humans. Sigh.
Gain the world; lose your soul.

Agreed DeeDee D -- regulations are the best place to start. Otherwise, it's up to calamity to smarten humans up, and none of us want calamity.
