The ‘STUFF’ that we put so much effort into accumulating on this planet

“The unfortunate truth is that all of the ‘STUFF’ that we put so much effort into accumulating on this planet, despite the fact that we expend a significant amount of time and energy doing so, is meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
At the end of the day, individuals will be cleaning out all of our “STUFF,” sorting through all of our “STUFF,” and determining what to do with all of this “STUFF” that we have amassed over the course of our lives.

The only things of worth that will continue to exist when we are gone are the MEMORIES we leave behind and the impressions we leave on other people.
I pray that we are all able to come to the realization that it is of far greater significance to spend time together creating memories than it is to acquire “stuff.”
