If you're a spiritual person, it's also true in it's secular sense. But for the spiritual person, everything matters, and nothing matters, all at the same time. It doesn't matter what you do, or what you have. When you die it will all be gone, no matter what. No matter what belief system you go by, it's true.
Many people travel the world, getting everything done while they still can, to accomplish nothing.
It doesn't matter who has the most RAM, or who has the most accurate views on society. In dragonball there is a cloud called Nimbus. The Nimbus clous can take it's owner wherever they want to go on the entire planet. But only those with pure hearts can ride the Nimbus cloud. Those without pure hearts will slip through the cloud and fall to teh ground, never getting to experience the care free and exillerating rides on the Nimbus cloud.
