Earthly Possessions We Leave Behind!

Earthly possessions Are a waist of time. Why do we focus on what we must leave behind?
We obsess over it. We kill for it. We will sell our souls just to own it. So why? When we die
it's all left behind. Such a big waist of time! The money we use to buy these materialistic 
items, all left behind. The biggest part to the evilness that money creates. For shame they 
put "In God We Trust" on the face of there evil. If you lack or choose not to be greedy. 
Your looked upon as trash, scum, and evil. If you gain to much then you turn evil. Shouldn't 
we be more focused on things like heaven, spirituality, kindness and truth? Gaining more 
wisdom and molding our youth? Applying those good things. Putting spare time to good use.
