Class quote from the film 'Zeitgeist: Moving Forward'

I came to understand that the only way to win was to make a total commitment to acquisition. I came to understand that money and possesions, that's the way that you keep score.

Now it all goes back in the box. All those houses and hotels, all the railroads and utility-companies, all that property and all that wonderful money, now it all goes back in the box. None of it was really yours. You got all heated up about it for a while but it was here a long time before you sat down at the board and it will be here after your gone. Players come, players go. Houses and cars, titles and clothes, even your body, cause the fact is, everything you clutch and consume and hoard, it all goes back in the box and i'm gonna lose it all.

You have to ask yourself, when you finally get the ultimate promotion, when you've made the ultimate purchase. when you buy the ultimate home, when you have stored up financial security and climbed the ladder of success to the highest rund you can possibly climb it and the thrill wears off and it WILL wear off, then what??

How far do you have to walk down that road before you see where it leads? Surely you understand it'll never be enough? So you have to ask yourself the question 'What matters?'
