People Only Label Themselves Blessed When Money Is Involved

Nothing can be further from the truth
Just look at religion which provides proof
This is a truth we need to scream from the rooftop:
People only label themselves blessed when money is involved!
“What does it profit a man if he gains the entire world but loses his soul”

Don’t be fooled
Money is needed
But the cemetery holds none of it!

Enjoy your life 
In the end, it is all vanity!
Let humanity know that you are not 
Only blessed when you have money!
Here today, gone tomorrow
Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord
You cannot afford to be too prideful

Don’t be fooled
Money is needed
But the cemetery holds none of it!

I love the wisdom and philosophic views in this. Especially enjoyed the line that no money was in the cemetery! Hard truths
