Proverb: No matter how costly a casket is it would still be covered and sink in side the ground.

Meaning: Placing much values to yourself without considering others would end being a selfish one, otherwise wealth acquired can not accompany you when you are gone. Love everyone and share equal love irrespective of home, state and countries we are one in flesh full with blood.
