Well said! We’re all transient visitors on this planet.

In his To Have or to Be, Eric Fromm elaborates on two possible modes of living: one of having and of being. He points out the differences between the two and of a person living in the having mode to the one living in the being mode.

Living in a consumerist society which is devoted to acquiring property and making money, we rarely see any evidence of the being mode of existence, and most people see the having mode as the most natural mode of existence, even the only acceptable way of life. Therefore, we are inclined to think that we are what we have.

To have or not to have is a big question over which to ponder.
