He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless, still dead.

Summary

This quote highlights the futility of material possessions in the face of mortality. It suggests that accumulating wealth and possessions does not bring true fulfillment or lasting happiness because death ultimately renders them irrelevant. Regardless of one's possessions, wealth, or material achievements, death is an inescapable reality that cannot be overcome. Therefore, the quote implies that focusing solely on accumulating worldly things is ultimately meaningless as they hold no value in the face of mortality.

First of all, Buddhism is neither pessimistic nor optimistic

First of all, Buddhism is neither pessimistic nor optimistic. If anything at all, it is realistic, for it takes a realistic view of life and the world. It looks at things objectively (). It does not falsely lull you into living in a fool's paradise, nor does it frighten and agonize you with all kinds of imaginary fears and sins. It tells you exactly and objectively what you are and what the world around you is, and shows you the way to perfect freedom, peace, tranquility and happiness.
