An idea from Ecclesiastes

You arrived with nothing in your hands, and you’ll leave with nothing in your hands. Whatever pile you build in between doesn’t travel with you. Some people even manage to lose it before they die, so the whole labor of a life buys them exactly nothing, twice.

From Ecclesiastes by Qoheleth
