This document discusses how all worldly possessions and achievements will fade away when one dies. It argues that what truly matters is not what is collected or accomplished, but rather how one enriches the lives of others through compassion and sacrifice. A life that matters is measured not by success or talent, but by the lasting impact and memories one leaves with those who knew them.
