All is vanity

I often wonder how human beings are been materialistic. We come with nothing to this world and we will definitely go with nothing.

Ecclesiastes 1:2 KJV
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

Today, the world is evil. Everybody want to gather for themselves everything including things they don't need. Remember the story of the rich fool in Luke chapter 12

Luke 12:15-23 KJV
[15] And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
[16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
[17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
[18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
[19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
[20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
[21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
[22] And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
[23] The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.

Instead of going after the material things and gathering what you will not even need for yourself, why don't you invest in people and take care of the needy around you. Remember it's only your good deeds that will be left of you when you are gone. Even your physical body will decay and turn to dust.

Your finger nails will begin to fall 3 days after death
Your hair will begin to break out of the skull and all your body hair will begin to fall 4 days after death
Those things that normally drive you to sin like the breast, penis, vaginal, buttocks etc will start to decay 5 days after death
The brain will also start sagging and the flesh will start fading 5 days after death.
The skin will begin to detach from the bone just 6 days after death
The belly starts melting and starts bringing out strong odour just 7 days after death.
And after 60 days, the whole body will be reduced to nothing but bone.

So,
Why are you proud?
Why do you hate?
Why are you selfish?
Why do you do evil?
Why are you jealous?

Ecclesiastes 3:20 KJV
All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

You are not the owner of yourself.
Humble yourself.
Love the people around you.
And don't be selfish.
Remember you are alive by God's grace

Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity.
